The 2016 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a flagship Tuscan red from one of Chianti Classico’s most respected estates, produced only in top vintages and crafted predominantly from Sangiovese with small amounts of Bordeaux varieties. It represents the pinnacle of the estate’s Gran Selezione range, combining concentration, structure and long ageing potential. The nose is deep and complex, showing blackberry, dark cherry and plum layered with cinnamon, spice, cedar and subtle earthy notes.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with grippy, structured tannins and a dense core of dark fruit balanced by freshness and acidity. The finish is long, concentrated and elegant, with savoury complexity and mineral depth, highlighting both power and finesse.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Chianti Classico Gran Selezione and one of the standout vintages from Isole e Olena. It’s structured, age-worthy and built for long-term cellaring. Drink from 2026 onwards or cellar for 15–20+ years. Perfect with bistecca, braised meats, truffle dishes or special occasion dining.

About the region

Tuscany · Chianti

Tuscany, or Toscana, is Sangiovese country. The grape is high in acid and tannin, savoury rather than sweet-fruited, and it changes with altitude and soil: firm and red-fruited in the hills of Chianti Classico, broader and longer-lived at Montalcino where it becomes Brunello. On the coast at Bolgheri the rules loosen and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take over, and it is there that several of the wines once labelled Super Tuscan were made.
