Isole e Olena Collezione Privata Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 offers a meticulous expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the renowned Chianti Classico estate. The grapes, sourced from meticulously maintained vineyards, reflect the cooler climate and galestro soils of the region. This vintage showcases a complex profile with notes of dark fruits, herbaceous undertones and a structured tannin framework. The wine has seen careful ageing, allowing its characteristics to evolve. Established in the 1950s, Isole e Olena has been at the forefront of quality winemaking, with a commitment to enhancing tradition under new ownership since 2022.

The 2018 Camartina is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Dark, brooding and quite closed, the 2018 is going to require cellaring and a good bit of patience, too. Dark-fleshed fruit, leather, spice, menthol and grilled herbs emerge with some coaxing. The Cabernet is quite evident in both the flavor profile and overall structure, which likely explains the wine`s general feel today. - Antonio Galloni - The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione De Marchi is another fabulous wine. It, too, boasts, extraordinary purity and primary beauty. At the same time, the tannins remain a bit angular, which is surprising for a wine of this age. If opened today, the 1998 needs a good bit of air. At this stage, I am not sure further bottle age will make a material difference. Still, the 1998 is superb.
