Box 'Peppoli-Villa Antinori' Antinori (2bt)

The 'Peppoli-Villa Antinori' box highlights the Antinori marquises' dual attitude towards the cultivation of native grape varieties, such as Sangiovese, and international varieties, such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Among the countless estates the Antinoris own in Tuscany are Villa Antinori and Pèppoli, both located in the Chianti Classico area. Villa Antinori is the name given to Villa del Cigliano, owned by the Antinori family since 1546, the year the property was taken over by Alessandro di Niccolò Antinori. It is a historic place for the family, where generations of Antinori have been born and lived over the centuries. Instead, the Pèppoli estate, which has been managed by Vallombrosian monks since the Middle Ages, has belonged to the family since 1985.

The Antinori Box 'Peppoli-Villa Antinori' takes the form of a fine wooden box containing a bottle of Villa Antinori Rosso and a bottle of Chianti Classico 'Pèppoli', two distinct interpretations of the classic Chianti zone. In particular, the Villa Antinori Rosso originates from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot, with ageing in oak barrels contributing to the sweet and spicy character of this wine, which still retains the Mediterranean character of its place of origin. As for the Chianti Classico 'Pèppoli', it is a red wine that derives from a solid base of Sangiovese combined with a few complementary grapes, worked between steel, barriques and large Slavonian oak barrels, seeking the right contribution of woods.

All in all, the 'Peppoli-Villa Antinori' Box by Antinori is a box designed for lovers of Tuscan reds, ideal as a gift for colleagues, friends and family.
