Description

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata is another fabulous wine from Paolo De Marchi. Readers must be patient with the 2017, as it is a very young wine. History has taught me the Cabernet here ages exquisitely, but it needs time. That should be the case here as well. Opening a bottle anytime soon is likely a primarily academic exercise.

Drink 2027 - 2042

Critics reviews

James Suckling 95/100
Aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, mint and sage follow through to a full-bodied palate with plenty of polished and tense tannins. Hazelnuts at the end. Give this time to come together. Fresh and balanced for the hot vintage. Drink from 2024 onwardjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (August 2021)

About this wine

Isole e Olena

The Isole et Olena Estate, run by Paolo de Marchi for 45 years, is a Tuscan property that has seen a dramatic rise in quality over the last few decades. Paolo's family, originally from Piedmont, purchased the estate in the 1960s. His attention to detail in both the vineyard and the winery was the driving force that turned quality around. The estate was purchased by the EPI group recently, who have expertise in Tuscany, also owning the famed Montalcino estate Biondi-Santi.
