Wine Review: This dark ruby Chianti Classico from Antinori opens with a mild black plum and black cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, and very easy to drink. The flavor profile is a loam and mild black cherry blend with notes of black tea. I also detected some hints of oak. The finish is quite dry, and its flavors, acidity, and dusty tannins stick around for quite some time. I would pair this very good value Sangiovese with your favorite three meat bolognese. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Pèppoli 2022 is a bright ruby red color. The nose offers fresh impressions of red fruit, especially currants, strawberries, pomegranates, and hints of watermelon. Delicate floral aromas of dog rose, hibiscus and undertones of caramel complete the aromatic bouquet. Entry on the palate is mouth filling and savory, and is followed by fresh lively sensations with soft, supple tannins. Pèppoli 2022 closes with a full-flavored vibrant finish.
