Antinori – Pèppoli 2023- Chianti Classico

During the harvest, the grapes were very carefully chosen at the Pèppoli estate, located in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. The grapes were vinified separately to bring out the best in each. The Sangiovese is macerated in stainless steel tanks for 10 days. On the other hand, Merlot and Syrah macerated in such a way as to preserve the characteristic aromas of each. Fermentation took place at a maximum temperature of 28°C. At the end, the wine also underwent malolactic fermentation, which took place before winter. Once the Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah had been brought together, the wine was brought in oak barrels from Slovenia. 10% of the wine was put in American wooden barrels for 9 months.
