Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico

The 2017 Peppoli is ruby red in color. On the nose are fruity notes of red and black fruit, cherries, strawberries and blackberries accompanied by delicate balsamic and herbal aromas and a spicy undertone. The palate is vibrant and savory with supple tannins that back up a persistent and pleasantly fresh finish.Lovely purity of fruit here, especially when you consider the vintage, ranging from citrus to raspberries to iodine. The juicy and succulent tannins are just the right counterpoint to the rather tangy acidity, and this ends medium-chewy and grainy. 92 JS
