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 to Sangiovese with a small percentage of complementary varieties such as Merlot, Syrah and Malvasia. There are 27 hectares (67 acres) of olive groves with 5,500 olive trees some of which are centuries old. Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo varieties are grown for the production of Pèppoli’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Since 2013, vinification of Pèppoli’s grapes takes place in the cellars at Antinori nel Chianti Classico. Ageing occurs in traditional large barrels of Slavonian oak and a small portion of production in stainless steel vats.

Pèppoli is a wine to be enjoyed and appreciated as a perfect expression of the Chianti Classico territory, its history and its traditional grape varieties through its characteristic floral and fruity aromas.
