Experience the allure of Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico, a wine that embodies the essence of the Chianti Classico territory and its historic grape variety. This captivating blend is crafted using carefully selected Sangiovese grapes and complementary varieties, resulting in a wine that beautifully expresses the full spectrum of flavors.
The 2019 growing season was marked by normal weather patterns, with a cold and dry winter followed by a cool and rainy spring. However, ideal climatic conditions from the end of August to the beginning of October allowed the grapes for Peppoli to reach their peak ripeness. This meticulous attention to the vineyard ensures that only the finest grapes are selected for this distinguished wine.
The vinification process starts with each grape variety being harvested separately and gently crushed before undergoing alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This controlled temperature fermentation preserves the vibrant fruity and floral notes of each grape variety. Maceration techniques are employed to extract soft and supple tannins, resulting in a harmonious and balanced flavor profile.
Following the completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine is then transferred to both large Slavonian oak barrels and stainless steel vats for aging. This careful aging process allows the wine to develop its unique character and complexity. Finally, Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico is bottled in January 2021, ready to be enjoyed and savored.
