Cepparello, Isole e Olena 2022
Red Wine from Italy - Tuscany
Cepparello 2022 is Isole e Olena’s benchmark expression of sangiovese, drawn from the estate’s finest parcels and shaped by a long-standing commitment to site and balance. The nose is refined yet intense, with layers of ripe cherry and darker berry fruit, complemented by subtle notes of spice, tobacco and a hint of savoury depth. On the palate it is concentrated but poised, the tannins finely textured and the acidity bright, carrying the fruit with precision through a long, focused finish. A wine of quiet power and clarity, offering both immediate harmony and the promise of graceful ageing.

Isole e Olena
Isole e Olena are two tiny hamlets whose vineyards, tended by sharecroppers for an absent landlord until the 1950s, were bought by the Piedmontese de Marchi family. The de Marchis planted new specialised vineyards and the estate has long been run with care, originality and flair by Paolo de Marchi, who has always been at the forefront in improving the quality of his vineyard by careful mixed clone selection, closer planting and training. Above all he wishes his sangiovese wines to be a pure expression of the grape and of its location on the western edge of Chianti Classico. More recently he and his son Luca have revitalised old family vineyards in northern Piedmont at Lessona.
