Antinori 'Peppoli' Chianti Classico 2022

This wine is like that adoring pesky little sibling who always manages to offer levity and good cheer. The Marchesi Antinori 2022 Chianti Classico P?ppoli offers an evergreen taste profile that features Sangiovese under an almost Pinot Noir-like spotlight. The wine is bright and pretty with Rainier cherry, orange peel, violet and earth. If you really want to push those buttons, you could interpret P?ppoli as the equivalent of a Langhe Nebbiolo or a good Valpolicella. 89 points, drink 2024-2027, Monica Larner, the Wine Advocate.
