Energy is coiled tightly in the 2019 Isole e Olena Cepparello, with pure, luminous Sangiovese fruit at its core: think black cherry and blood orange layered with fennel, tobacco, mint and a gentle cedar spice. The palate is sleek rather than massive, its refined tannins and vivid acidity giving a long, vertical finish that feels more about precision and elegance than sheer power; this is a superb, slowly revealing vintage that clearly favors patience.

Cepparello is Isole e Olena’s flagship pure Sangiovese “Super Tuscan,” first produced in 1980 and sourced from the estate’s oldest, best-exposed vineyards on galestro soils in the northwestern Chianti Classico hills. Aged around 18–20 months in barrique, it marries the perfume and tension of high-altitude Chianti terroir with the depth, structure, and polish that have made it a benchmark modern expression of Sangiovese.
