100% Sangiovese classified as Toscana IGT this is now seen as one of the original Super Tuscans and is rightly regarded as an icon wine. 2016 is a beautiful expression of Sangiovese. Intense, rich, dark and earthy this should age phenomenally well. It is broad-shouldered in structure but delivery is silken and has length for days.

The 2016 Cepparello is dense, dark and also very closed in on itself. Those qualities bode well for the future, but readers will have to be patient, as the 2016 is going to need at least a few years to come into its own. Black cherry, plum, lavender, spice and new leather gradually open up in the glass, but the 2016 is not ready to show all of its cards. This fruit was brought in during the second week of October, which is pretty much optimal at Isole e Olena. The 2016 spent 20 months in French oak, with a bit less than 30% new oak, and a few months in cask prior to bottling. An explosion of floral and spice notes punctuates the super-refined finish. The 2016 is shaping up to be epic. Don't miss it! Antonio Galloni1st August 2019
