Description	From the vineyards of the Pèppoli estate, a Chianti Classico is born from Sangiovese grapes combined with complementary varieties, conceived to be appreciated at the height of the fruit's expression. A wine capable of representing the Chianti Classico territory and its historic variety through the typical floral and fruity aromas. Pèppoli has been produced since 1985 and since the 2013 vintage part of the grapes have been vinified in the Antinori nel Chianti Classico winery. In Chianti Classico, the 2022 climate season began with a generally cold and dry winter. The absence of rain also characterized the following months until mid-August. Spring and summer were generally warm, with the months of June and July characterized by temperatures above the historical average. Despite the characteristics of this season, the vines managed to self-regulate, facing the hottest months in the best possible way and presenting themselves at the beginning of veraison in an ideal vegetative-productive state. The rains and the drop in temperatures from mid-August allowed the grapes to start ripening in the best possible way, and the excellent climatic conditions of the autumn months guaranteed a harvest with high quality potential. The harvest for Pèppoli began on September 8 and ended in the first week of October.
Grapes used	Sangiovese and other complementary varieties
Origin and name	Tuscany - Chianti Classico DOCG
Winemaking and Refinement	The grapes, harvested separately by variety, were destemmed, gently pressed and introduced into stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature between 26 and 28 °C so as to enhance the aromatic expression and preserve the fruity and floral notes of each variety; maceration, managed with mechanical interventions aimed at extracting soft and sweet tannins, lasted about 10-12 days for the Sangiovese, up to a maximum of two weeks for the complementary varieties. Once malolactic fermentation was completed by the end of winter, the assembled wine was transferred to wood, where it matured in large Slavonian oak barrels and, for a small part, in barriques and stainless steel tanks. Bottling began in September 2023.
Tasting notes	Pèppoli 2022 has a bright ruby red color. The nose expresses fresh sensations of red fruits, such as currant, strawberry and pomegranate and notes of watermelon; delicate floral aromas of dog rose and hibiscus surrounded by a caramel background complete the bouquet. On the palate, the enveloping and tasty entrance continues in a fresh and vibrant sip that, accompanied by sweet tannins, introduces a savory and lively finish.
