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.
