Marchesi Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico 2024

Marchesi Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico 2024 is a bright, vibrant, and contemporary expression of classic Tuscan winemaking. Sourced from the historic Pèppoli estate, this Sangiovese-dominant red wine features a lively ruby color and opens with a highly expressive bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and currants. These fruity layers are beautifully complemented by delicate floral undertones of violets and lavender, alongside light, spicy hints of licorice and blood orange. On the palate, it offers a soft entry with crisp acidity and well-integrated, ripe tannins, culminating in a remarkably fresh, savory, and chalky finish.

Food Pairing: Traditional Tuscan dishes, pasta with meat ragù, wood-fired margherita pizza, grilled poultry, roasted lamb, and aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
