The 2021 Isole e Olena Cepparello Magnum (1500ml) is a benchmark Tuscan red crafted entirely from Sangiovese by one of Chianti Classico’s most respected estates. Widely regarded as one of Italy’s great single-varietal Sangiovese wines, Cepparello combines the variety’s natural elegance with remarkable depth and structure. Presented in magnum format, it offers exceptional ageing potential and allows the wine to mature with greater complexity and finesse over time.
The nose is complex and beautifully layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, red plum and wild berries alongside notes of violet, dried herbs, tobacco leaf and subtle spice. On the palate, it is concentrated yet refined, with vibrant acidity, polished tannins and impressive purity of fruit. Flavours of red and dark cherries unfold alongside savoury earthy nuances and mineral detail, leading to a long, balanced finish that showcases the character of both the vintage and the estate.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors and lovers of premium Italian wines seeking a cellar-worthy expression of Sangiovese. The magnum format is ideal for special occasions and long-term ageing. Pair with bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-braised beef, roast lamb, wild mushroom dishes or aged Pecorino. Enjoy with decanting today or cellar confidently for 15–20 years as it develops further complexity and elegance.
