Depth and tension define the 2020 Isole e Olena Cepparello, with concentrated black cherry and plum layered by rose, sweet spice and a stony, earthy undertone. The palate is powerful yet refined, driven by vibrant acidity and fine, chalky tannins that stretch the long, fragrant finish. A commanding, ripe vintage that still retains impressive poise and lift.

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.
