Tasting Profile

  • Body: Full-bodied
  • Tannins: Fine, polished and silky tannins.
  • Acidity: Vibrant and bright acidity complementing its Sangiovese-driven sour cherry, pepper, and earthy notes, delivering a well-structured and lively palate.
  • Sweetness: Dry

Tasting Notes: This wine has a fragrant overture of pepper and raspberry, joined by mint, flint and dried flowers. The palate is a colourful mix of sour cherry and blackcurrant - all very crisp. The sandy tannins give the wine a decisive backbone, and the tart, crisp acidity cuts through the density. Graphite and spicy green peppercorns on the finish..

Discover the Winery: Isole E Olena

Founded in 1956 by Francesco De Marchi, this historic Chianti Classico estate is located in the western part of the denomination, near Castellina in Chianti, in the commune of Barberina Val d’Elsa. Isole e Olena’s 56 hectares (138 acres) of vineyards sit at 350-450 meters (1,148 – 1,476 feet) above sea level on soils of galestro and marly schist. In 1975, Francesco’s son, Paolo De Marchi, ushered in a new era at Isole e Olena by taking over the estate. With his background in agricultural studies, Paolo started to revolutionize the winery beginning in the vineyards. He began experiments with the clear goal of enhancing the quality of the region, improving the performance of the local grape varieties (mainly Sangiovese) through massal selection, and mapping his galestro-driven soils. Thanks to the philosophy of Paolo De Marchi, Isole e Olena is considered among the pioneer estates who led the quality renaissance of Chianti Classico starting in the 1970s and becoming a reference for the area. 1980 saw the first bottling of Cepparello, a Sangiovese from old vines, aged in barrique, which in time has become an emblem of Isole e Olena. First classified as “vino da tavola” (table wine) it went on to become one of the first Supertuscan wines, showing the character and longevity of Sangiovese from this high-altitude corner of Chianti Classico. Cepparello is the result of Paolo’s extensive study of the Sangiovese grape and his belief in the potential of its expression. In 2022, Isole e Olena entered a new chapter under the ownership of Christofer Descours’ Groupe EPI. With Emanuele Reolon appointed as estate director, the vision remains clear: to honor Paolo De Marchi’s legacy while advancing an enduring pursuit of quality and excellence. The focus continues to be thoughtful viticulture, restrained winemaking, and faithful expression of terroir. Today, Isole e Olena is recognized for the pivotal role it played in shaping modern Chianti Classico and for an authentic, transparent style—fragrant, well-balanced wines defined by purity of fruit and elevation-driven freshness. Alongside Chianti Classico and Cepparello, the estate produces a limited range of varietal wines, including Chardonnay, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as a highly regarded Vin Santo.
