Antinori, Pèppoli Chianti Classico 2024

Antinori Pèppoli Chianti Classico 2024 is a vivid expression of Tuscany’s most iconic red wine, crafted to showcase the fruit-forward, floral side of Sangiovese. First produced in 1985, it reflects both the character of Chianti Classico and the Antinori family’s long-standing dedication to elegant, approachable wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright ruby-red color. The bouquet is marked by red cherry, sour cherry, and lychee, lifted by rose petals and layered with delicate spice notes of sandalwood, rosemary, and lavender. The palate is smooth and lively, with soft, sweet tannins and a well-balanced freshness that keeps the wine energetic and easy to enjoy. Its fruit purity and supple structure make it appealing in youth, though it should also hold nicely over the next few years as the flavors integrate further.

Production
Pèppoli comes from vineyards in Chianti Classico, where the terroir lends the wine its classic Tuscan identity and natural aromatic clarity. The grapes are harvested separately, destemmed, gently crushed, and fermented in stainless steel at a controlled 26–28°C to preserve floral and fruity expression. Maceration lasts around 10 days for Sangiovese and up to two weeks for the complementary varieties, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in large Slovenian oak casks, with a small portion kept in stainless steel.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile Chianti Classico that pairs beautifully with tomato-based pasta, grilled meats, roast chicken, antipasti, and mature cheeses. Serve it slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and decanting is optional but can help open up the wine if enjoyed soon after pouring.

Producer
Antinori is one of Italy’s most respected wine families, with a history spanning more than six centuries and a major role in shaping modern Tuscan winemaking. In Chianti Classico, the estate is especially significant for combining tradition with technical precision, and Pèppoli has become one of its most recognizable wines for its fresh, fruit-driven style.
