Isole e Olena Cepparello 2017 is a 100% Sangiovese from high-altitude vineyards in Barberino Val d’Elsa, Chianti Classico. The product of a relatively warm `Mediterranean` growing season, this wine was sourced from high-altitude plots to preserve acidity against the solar heat, resulting in a flamboyant profile of baked plum, liquorice and dried Mediterranean herbs. The 2017 maintains a refined structure, and the Jeroboam format protects the primary fruit from premature development. The tannins are broader and more velvety than the 2016, leading to a rich, expansive palate.

The 2017 Cepparello is another in a series of stunningly beautiful Cepparellos from Paolo de Marchi. Bright and beautifully focused in the glass, with tremendous depth, the 2017 is positively stellar from the very first taste. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, spice, menthol and coffee all open up with a bit of air. Here, too, Paolo De Marchi has done a tremendous job in preserving freshness in the wine. Readers who can muster the patience will be rewarded with a spectacular wine.Antonio Galloni1st September 2020

The Isole e Olena 2017 Cepparello is one of the great Sangiovese-based wines of the vintage. From a growing season that was challenging for almost everyone in Italy, this wine sails through, pushed by a profound sense of varietal purity. This dark, mid-weight red reveals lifted tones of cherry, wild rose, rosemary essence, toasted almond and potting soil. These components come together with seamless transitions and a polished finish. The tannins are elegant and integrated. The wine defies the expectations of the vintage. Production is 43,000 bottles, 1,800 magnums and more large formats . - Monica Larner
