Bright ruby red in color. Fresh impressions of red fruits on the nose. Delicate floral aromas of dog rose, hibiscus and undertones of caramel complete the aromatic bouquet. Entry on the palate is mouth filling and savory, followed by fresh lively sensations with soft, supple tannins.
Product Information
In 1379, when the Guelphs were defeated by the Ghibellines, the nearby monastery of Badia a Passignano was partially destroyed and later abandoned. Its extensive properties, including Tenuta Peppoli, were divided among Florentine noble families. The first owners, the Gondi and the Cerchi families, built a small, elegant chapel dedicated to their ancestor, Saint Umiliana, in the sixteenth century. The chapel has been restored to its original splendor. Marchesi Antinori has owned the estate since 1985, the year of their 600th anniversary of the family's winemaking business.
