Isole E Olena Chianti Classico Docg 2017
Isole e Olena
A small Chianti house with a reputation for producing some of the purest, most classical wines in the region. Our allocation is light with us receiving about 20 cases a year of the Chianti Classico. The owner and winemaker, Paolo de Marchi has been described as almost maniacal in his attention to detail in both his vineyards and his wine production. Isole also produce their own 'Super Tuscan' called Cepparello which is usually 100% Sangiovese. This is regularly spoken about as one of Tuscany's finest and most elegant wines.

Winemaker Notes - Estate-grown, hand-harvested grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with approximately 15 days maceration. During fermentation, delestage and pumping-over takes place twice a day. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked into barrels and 4,000 liter casks where it matures for about one year.
Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo, 5% Syrah
Deep dark red black tinged colour with a dark red hue. Intense ripe dark to black currant and dark cherry aromas are matched up with earth, old cedar, dried herbs, tobacco, hints of leather and spice. The delicious medium bodied palate is blessed with rich red to dark currant and cherry fruits which have a fleshy feel. Subtle elements of earth, old cedar, dried herbs, tobacco and spice sit beneath. There’s a sturdiness to the tannins yet they come across as very refined and quite polished. Excellent depth with a long and savoury aftertaste.
