Typically stylish and savoury, this very measured and polished Chianti Classico unfolds a spicy, earthy fragrance whose bright core of red berries and blood plums reveals notes of cola, roasting meats and polished cedar. Delivering a wonderful length of fruit and flavour over a fine-grained spine, it finishes with marvellous persistence and an almost sour-edged acidity.

Isole e Olena
Isole e Olena, one of the icons of Tuscan wine, was created by Paolo De Marchi towards the south-western part of the Chianti Classico region since the 1950s with the joining of the historic Isole and Olena estates located towards the south-western part of the Classico region. Today it comprises 48 hectares under vine, largely producing two wines: the benchmark Chianti Classico and the flagship Cepparello - a sangiovese aged in 100% French oak. In 2022 it was acquired by the EPI Group, owners of Charles Heidsieck champagne and Biondi-Santi in Montalcino.
