Professional Ratings
91 Wine Enthusiast
On the nose, savory top soil, espresso and black pepper balance blackberries and black cherries. The cohesive palate is simultaneously spicy and dense with ripe but still tart and snappy fruit, and has a finish of spicy pepper, earth and a bit of bitter citrus pith.
90 Wine Spectator
There’s depth and breadth to this solidly built red, along with black cherry, blackberry, earth and iron flavors. Juicy and well-structured, with a fresh feel on the lingering finish. Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah.
90 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The Marchesi Antinori 2023 Chianti Classico Pèppoli comes from a vintage with heat and rain that ultimately made for fresher wines compared to the darker and more concentrated wines from 2022. This versatile red wine shows aromas of cassis, cherry and orange peel. Sangiovese is blended with small percentages of Canaiolo, Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, depending on the year. The bouquet focuses nicely on red fruits, but there is a hint of sweet ripeness as well.
