Isole e Olena Cepparello Toscana IGT 2018 750ml

Isole e Olena
“Isole” and “Olena” were once two separate Tuscan wine farms, but in the 1950s, the De Marchi purchased the properties and united them. Today’s Isole e Olena remains family-owned-and-operated, helmed by Paolo de Marchi, fourth generation winemaker and trained enologist. While Paolo grew up in Piemonte, he spent his childhoods in Toscana, and he fell in love with the land — so much so that when his father decided to sell the estate, Paolo bought it, salvaged the property, and began the slow process of renovating the buildings and vineyards. Paolo’s dedication to his vineyards, to Tuscan grapes, and to Italian winemaking has paid off; Isole e Olena crafts some of Italy’s most evocative wines from its 125 acres in western Chianti Classico. In addition to Cepparello, the estate’s renowned mono-varietal Sangiovese Super Tuscan, Isole e Olena also crafts Chianti Classico and a Vin Santo under the marquee label, as well as an array of internationally styled Super Tuscans under the Collezione de Marchi label.
