2017 Cepparello, Isole e Olena, Tuscany, Italy

Description

A delightful nose of ripe, dark cherries and spice invades the senses. The palate is full and rich, yet fresh, with notes of red and black cherries, redcurrants and hints of darker fruits, spice and dark chocolate, all balanced with perfectly judged acidity and fine-grained tannins. Long and elegant on the finish, this another excellent Cepparello from the De Marchis. Still very youthful, this will develop more complexity as it ages, adding the typical grilled meat notes to its portfolio of complex flavours and aromas. Drink 2022-2040+.

Isole e Olena

The Isole et Olena Estate, run by Paolo de Marchi for 45 years, is a Tuscan property 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. The estate was purchased by the EPI group recently, who have expertise in Tuscany, also owning the famed Montalcino estate Biondi-Santi.
