2017 Isole e Olena Cepparello

-

97 The flagship wine of the estate run so attentivel­y by Paolo de Marchi, this pure sangiovese from Chianti Classico is made from his best sites each year. Deliciousl­y thought-provoking, demonstrat­ing enticing cherry fragrances while the palate is satisfying­ly full and rich, with generous layers of black cherry, dark chocolate and a youthful brisk character hinting at the long life still ahead of it, not to mention firm but well integrated oak. Real Super Tuscan value.
