Antinori 1999 Pèppoli (Chianti Classico)

Country: Italy / Pèppoli
Variety: Sangiovese Tuscany
Winery: Antinori / Chianti Classico

Ripe and juicy, and overall quite tasty. It begins with a lot of red fruit, and in the mouth it’s more of the same with no rough edges. It’s a seamless Chianti, a sure hit in the trattorias. And there’s nothing wrong with the smooth raspberry finish that features some creamy vanilla oak.
