91 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The 2022 Pèppoli is all about pure drinking pleasure. Smooth, savory and fresh, it opens with aromas of dog rose and wild strawberry while the rounded palate doles out juicy black cherry, baking spice and star anise alongside lithe tannins. Drink through 2027. (Jan 2024)"
90 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2022 Chianti Classico Peppoli is a youthful ruby magenta, and is highly expressive with lively aromas of grenadine, tangerine, fresh flowers, and fresh oregano. This carries seamlessly to the palate keeping all the buoyant vibrancy and fruit through a well-balanced and polished finish. It has fine tannins, and a flourish of toasted smoke cedar spice, with notes of dusty earth and a bit of iron rich gamy feel. Clean and balanced this is an excellent value to drink 2025-2032. (Jan 2024)"
90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2022 Chianti Classico Pèppoli, the entry-level offering from Antinori, is a fine introduction to the year that shows just how compelling this vintage can be. Bright, floral and beautifully lifted, the 2022 is all class. The understated, refreshing style is so compelling. Drink 2024-2030 (Jul 2024)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "Balanced and moderately long, this bright, fruity red offers cherry, strawberry and light earth flavors in a charming, approachable profile. Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah. Drink now through 2028.(Oct 2024)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Sweet aromas of cherry and chocolate cake play on the nose, but only within the bounds set by balancing undertones of soil and stone. The palate brings more fruit, more earth and an emergent herbaceousness, while acid fizzes around grippy, chalky tannins. (Sep 2024)"
