Isole e Olena Cepparello

The emblematic wine remains a flagship of the Italian vineyard and takes its name from a small stream that runs in the Isole e Olena estate. It began production in 1980 from 100% Sangiovese and belongs to the famous category of Super Tuscans, as in that time it was now allowed to produce Chianti relying solely on Sangiovese. But Cepparello speaks of Tuscany exalting the character of the variety and the terroir of the area with Paolo de Marchi avoiding to distort it during winemaking. Cepparello is a great wine not because of its imposing concentration, its robustness or the use of expensive oak. Instead it holds primarily as its flag, the terroir it comes from and connotations of finesse, elegance, precision, subtlety and freshness.
