Description

A still red from Tuscany, a 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, 14.5% ABV, produced by Isole e Olena. This wine embodies the region's tradition, with a blend of Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, and Syrah. The winery, run by Paolo de Marchi, is a paragon of winemaking excellence.

On the palate, the wine is intense, smooth, and rich, with a structure that promises a long development.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1956
  • Oenologist: Paolo De Marchi
  • Bottles produced: 220.000
  • Hectares: 56
This estate, run by Paolo de Marchi, is yet another that has seen a dramatic rise in quality over the last few decades. Paolo's family, originally from Piedmont, purchased the estate in the 1960s. His attention to detail in both the vineyard and the winery was the driving force that turned quality around. Experience working a vintage or two in California helped, but no doubt the input received from oenological consultant Donato Lanati has also been of significance.

The wines have Cepparello at their head, a barrique-aged Sangiovese classified as an IGT - because at the time of its creation in the 1980s a wine comprising 100% Sangiovese could not legally be labelled as Chianti. There is a Chianti Classico and a Vin Santo, as well as some excellent wines from the Collezione de Marchi label, including a Syrah called Eremo, a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay. Read more
