The Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico (750 ml) is another standout from the renowned Antinori family, specifically from the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, Italy. The Peppoli is one of their more accessible wines while still showcasing the high quality that Antinori is known for.
Here's a bit more about it:
-
Grape Composition: The Peppoli Chianti Classico is predominantly made from Sangiovese, with some additional blends of other varietals, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon, depending on the vintage. The Sangiovese gives it that classic Chianti profile, with bright red fruit flavors like cherries and raspberries, alongside earthy, herbal, and slightly floral notes.
-
Tasting Notes: On the palate, Peppoli typically offers a medium-bodied structure with fresh acidity and soft tannins, making it an approachable and versatile wine. You might also notice some subtle oak aging notes, with hints of vanilla, spice, and sometimes a touch of leather or tobacco, especially if it’s had a few years of bottle age.
-
Aging: The wine typically spends some time in oak barrels, which helps to soften the tannins and adds complexity. It’s often ready to drink upon release, but can also age for a few years, improving with time.
-
Food Pairings: This wine is very food-friendly. It pairs well with a range of Italian dishes like pasta with tomato-based sauces, pizza, roast meats, and even aged cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano.
