2020 Cepparello, Isole e Olena, Tuscany, Italy

Description

Cepparello is widely considered one of the best value Super Tuscan wines you can still get your hands on. When it was first released in 1980, there were still very few 100% Sangiovese wines around. Isole e Olena proved right from the start, why it is considered one of the leading producers in the region.

This instantly transports you to the rolling hills of Tuscany – baked earth, blood orange, mint and dark berry fruit, all the things I want in Sangiovese. Lots of vanilla and spice as well, this will need a couple of years to fill it’s powerful frame. Paolo di Marchi has taken this historic Tuscan estate to ever loftier heights and this, his penultimate vintage, is a Cepparello of the highest order.

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.
