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 has begun with a generally cold and dry winter. The absence of Rain also characterized the following months until the middle August. Spring and summer have been generally warm, with the months of June and July characterised by temperatures above the historical average. Despite the characteristics of this season, the vines have managed to self-regulate by dealing with the warmer months at best and appearing at the beginning of veraison in an ideal vegetative-productive state. The rains and the decline in temperatures from mid-August have allowed the grapes to start at its best, and the excellent climatic conditions of the autumn months have guaranteed a harvest of high quality qualitative potential. The harvest for Pèppoli began on the 8th September and ended with 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 in order 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 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 took place in January 2022.
Tasting notes	Pèppoli 2020 has a ruby red color. The nose shows intense notes of red fruits such as cherry, currant and strawberry, accompanied by a floral background of violet and lavender with light spicy hints of licorice. On the palate, the soft entry is accompanied by vibrant sensations and supported by well-placed tannins that introduce a fresh and savory finish.
