Description
Discover the essence of Tuscan winemaking with Isole e Olena Cepparello, a standout red from the heart of Italy's Tuscany region. This flagship expression captures the purity of Sangiovese, drawn exclusively from the estate's premier vineyard sites in Barberino Val d’Elsa, nestled in the northern reaches of Chianti Classico. Crafted under the vision of Paolo De Marchi, it embodies decades of dedication to elevating quality through careful site selection and evolving techniques.
Paolo De Marchi, a true pioneer in the region, poured his expertise into shaping Cepparello into an IGT Toscana icon. Over time, he honed its character by allowing greater exposure to air during key stages and sourcing superior oak influences starting around 1993. Yet, the true leap in refinement comes from the maturing vineyards themselves, which lend an unmistakable poise and depth. With just 58,000 bottles produced for the 2019 vintage, this wine stands as a limited testament to his legacy—especially poignant as it coincided with the estate's transition to new ownership.
From those hillside parcels in Barberino Val d’Elsa, Cepparello draws its vitality, reflecting the unique terroir of this storied corner of Chianti Classico. The 2019 edition arrives in a classic 750 ml bottle at 15% ABV, with a dry profile that promises versatility at the table or in the cellar. Imagine pairing it with robust Italian fare, where its structure shines alongside grilled meats or aged cheeses, or simply savoring it solo to appreciate its layered personality.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, Cepparello offers a bridge between tradition and forward-thinking style. It's the kind of bottle that rewards patience, evolving gracefully over years while remaining approachable now. Secure your place in Tuscany's narrative with this singular Sangiovese—order Isole e Olena Cepparello 2019 today and elevate your wine journey with a piece of winemaking history.
