Viticulture >
The Pèppoli estate is located 5 kilometers north east of the Tenuta Tignanello estate with a total area of 100 hectares (247 acres) of which 50 hectares (123 acres) are planted with vineyards and is home to Peppoli Chianti Classico DOCG. Despite the vineyards unusual eastern/northeastern exposure, the microclimate is ideal. The small surrounding valley keeps the area warm and protected and its gravelly soils are rich in minerals that give the Sangiovese grape a lively fruity character.Pèppoli’s vineyards are planted primarily with Sangiovese and with a small percentage of complementary varieties such as Merlot, Syrah and Malvasia.
Winemaking >
Each grape variety was harvested separately, destemmed, gently crushed, and transferred into stainless steel tanks.
Alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature between 26 and 28 °C (80 – 82 °F) to enhance
aromatic compounds and preserve the fruityand floral notes of each grape variety. Maceration was performed with
mechanical methods to best extract soft, supple tannins overa period of 10-12 days for Sangiovese and for a
maximum of two weeks for the complementary varieties. Once malolactic fermentation was completed by the end of
the winter season, the wine was blended and transferred into barrels. Pèppoli is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels
and a small percentage was aged in barriques and stainless steel vats. Bottling began in the month of October.
