Pèppoli is one of Marchesi Antinori’s well-known Chianti Classico wines. The 2021 vintage comes from the Tuscan region between Florence and Siena, where Sangiovese has set the tone for generations. The wine demonstrates how fruit, fresh acidity, and a savory undertone can come together to create a remarkably versatile table wine.
In Tuscany, 2021 was a year in which heat and dry spells affected viticulture. For Chianti Classico, the key with Sangiovese is achieving sufficient ripeness without losing its fresh vibrancy. Pèppoli thus reveals a different side of the same grape variety compared to Rosso di Montepulciano, even though both wines are from the 2021 vintage.
Cherries and other red fruits take center stage, complemented by floral notes and a hint of spice. The acidity lends liveliness, while the tannins provide ample structure. The result is not a wine that relies solely on power, but a Chianti Classico in which balance and drinking pleasure take precedence.
This wine pairs perfectly with Italian cuisine. Think pasta with tomato sauce, grilled meat, or a piece of pecorino. Serve it slightly below room temperature and let the wine breathe in the glass. If you enjoy comparing Sangiovese from different parts of Tuscany, try pairing it with Icario’s Rosso di Montepulciano.
