Description

A still red from Tuscany, a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, 14.5% ABV, produced by Isole e Olena. 1.5L magnum, 2015 vintage. A wine that embodies the history and passion of Paolo De Marchi, who has guided this winery toward excellence since 1960. On the nose, aromas of red fruits are complemented by notes of underbrush that evoke the complexity of the Tuscan terroir. The wine is intense, smooth, and rich, with a structure that promises a long evolution. Ideal with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is an unforgettable sensory experience.

  • Bottles produced: 220.000

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
