More questions
This Chianti Classico DOCG from Tenuta Pèppoli, offered by Marchesi Antinori in magnum format and presented in a wooden case, is a sober, measured example of the appellation. It comes across as a red wine suited to convivial occasions: a bouquet recalling ripe red fruits, light spicy notes and a discreet floral profile. The magnum format enhances the perception of roundness, making it suitable for sharing a bottle with company or marking a special moment without excess.
On the palate it shows balance between fruit and structure, with smooth tannins and a texture that does not seek to dominate. It pairs well with dishes of the local and Mediterranean tradition: grilled meats, ragù, semi-firm cheeses and mushroom-based preparations. Serve at about 16–18 °C; opening the bottle a few minutes in advance helps aromatic expression. The wooden case eases storage at home and also makes it an elegant, unfussy gift.

The story
The estate’s winemaking origins are linked to the noble Della Gherardesca family (vineyards since the late 17th century). The property entered the Antinori holdings in the 1930s; the estate’s modern winemaking development took place from the late 1980s–1990s. First documented vintage of Vermentino at the estate: 1996.
Production philosophy
To express the Bolgheri terroir through parcel selection, experimentation in the vineyard and cellar, and practices focused on quality and respect for the territory.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Bolgheri DOC (Upper Maremma) on a plain encircled by gentle hills known as the “Bolgheri Amphitheatre.” Climate is moderated by sea breezes; alluvial soils range from sandy-clay to silty-clay with fine gravel (Bolgheri agglomerate), influencing the character of varieties grown (Cabernet, Merlot, Vermentino, etc.).
Awards and recognition
