Marchesi Antinori Pèppoli Chianti Classico
How it tastes
Grape varieties
SangioveseItalySour cherry, tomato leaf and oregano, with high acid and firm tannin. DNA makes it half Tuscan and half southern Italian; where the cross happened is still argued.
More Sangiovese
Aged in
Slavonian OakUsed in casks large enough that the wood is a container more than a flavour. Softens tannin and leaves the fruit alone.
More aged in Slavonian Oak
Stainless SteelAdds nothing of its own. Keeps the fruit as close as it gets to how it was picked.

Earthy Red
Savoury rather than sweet-fruited: forest floor, leather, dried herbs. Fruit is there but not the point.
