Isole e Olena Collezione Privata Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is a mature Super Tuscan red wine from the high-altitude, limestone-rich soils of Barberino Val d’Elsa in the heart of Chianti Classico. The 2013 vintage was a classic, cooler year in Tuscany characterised by a late harvest and significant diurnal temperature shifts that favoured aromatic complexity and acidity over the high alcohol often seen in warmer seasons. Paolo De Marchi utilised long macerations and aged the wine for 24 months in French oak barriques, of which a high percentage was new, to refine the firm mountain tannins. The result is a wine with a distinct sense of place, offering a profile of blackcurrant, cedar and crushed stones underpinned by a structural elegance and savoury tension that suggests a long evolution.
