Antinori Pèppoli Chianti Classico 2018
Tuscany, ItalyPèppoli is an Antinori single estate dedicated to quality Chianti Classico. This is based on sangiovese and complemented by other indigenous grapes, all harvested separately. Each was fermented in stainless through MLF, and then the lots were blended and transferred into large Slavonian oak barrels for 9 months (a small part remained in stainless for a sprinkle of freshness). Dried red currants, black and red cherry, earthy woodsy notes rule this medium+ wine, with an ample dosage of Slavonian wood spicing, though quite polished tannins. There's a good amount of freshness to carry this to a warming baking spice finish. A touch old-school and rustic-hewn, this would well suit braised meats or root vegetable dishes.Tasted: 04 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $27.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
