The Antinori family have been producing wines in Tuscany for six centuries and exporting it for four; that's twenty-six generations of uninterrupted family ownership. The first recorded mention of the family dates back to 1188, when they worked in the silk trade. The family then moved to Florence in the early thirteenth century and today remain central figures in the fabric of the city; Piazza Antinori is the square in the historic centre where the family offices are located. The vineyards of the Pèppoli estate are located 5 kilometres north east of Antinori's Tignanello estate in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. The estate has 50 hectares (123 acres) of vines from which it produces the Pèppoli Chianti Classico DOCG red wine. Péppoli was first produced in 1985 and since 2013 a part of the crop has been fermented and aged in the Antinori Chianti Classico cellars. Ruby red in colour Pèppoli Chianti Classico offer intense fruity notes of cherries and red currants on the nose along with integrated hints of violets and a light touch of toasted oak. The palate is fresh and savoury with supple tannins.
