Chianti Classico DOCG, Pèppoli, Antinori, 2021

Villa Antinori Bianco stands as a historic wine within the Antinori family’s portfolio. Niccolò Antinori introduced it for the first time during the 1931 vintage, and since then, the label has remained virtually unchanged, reflecting a production philosophy deeply rooted in representing the wine’s origin – the very place where its grapes are grown.

Pèppoli 2021 displays a ruby-red hue, accentuated by hints of purplish highlights. Its aromatic profile is characterized by the emergence of zesty citrus notes reminiscent of bitter oranges, accompanied by fruity undertones of plums. This delicate bouquet is further enriched by the presence of floral hints reminiscent of hyacinth blossoms, along with subtle suggestions of unsweetened cocoa powder. Upon sipping, the wine offers a mouth-filling experience, with a lively freshness that harmonizes with supple tannins, ultimately culminating in a flavourful and satisfying finish.

The Chianti Classico DOCG Pèppoli pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine, making it an excellent choice for dishes that are both hearty and flavourful. it is also an ideal match for a variety of cheeses.
