Isole e Olena is a renowned Chianti producer, which played a pivotal role in elevating Chianti`s quality in the 1970s. Their ‘Cepparello’, a flagship Super Tuscan wine, is celebrated worldwide. The 2013 vintage suggests aromas of blue flowers, perfumed berries, exotic spices, and a hint of French oak. These scents translate onto the lively palate, combined with wild cherry, raspberry compote, and liquorice. All supported by crisp acidity and well-structured, fine-grained tannins, promising excellent ageing potential.
