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.

The 2013 Cepparello is superb. Polished, silky nuanced and exceptionally beautiful, the 2013 exudes freshness and energy from start to finish. Succulent red cherry, plum, lavender and rose petal are some of the signatures. Aging in French oak shapes the wine nicely without marking it excessively. The purity of the flavors is striking. This is an especially cool, savory Cepparello built on finesse and persistence rather than power. Rain during harvest robbed the wine of some of its breadth. Otherwise, this is a striking Cepparello. I can't wait to see how it ages.Antonio Galloni1st October 2016
