The 2022 Isole e Olena Cepparello is one of Tuscany’s most celebrated expressions of Sangiovese, produced exclusively from estate-grown fruit in the heart of Chianti Classico. Since its first release, Cepparello has earned a reputation for showcasing the purity, structure and ageing potential of Sangiovese, combining traditional Tuscan character with precision and elegance.
The nose is expressive and complex, 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 beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity, finely textured tannins and concentrated flavours of red and dark fruit. Layers of savoury earth, mineral nuance and gentle oak influence add depth, leading to a long, refined finish that reflects the wine’s pedigree and sense of place.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for lovers of premium Italian wines and cellar-worthy Sangiovese. Its balance of fruit intensity, freshness and structure makes it equally rewarding at the table and in the cellar. Pair with bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-braised beef, roast lamb, wild mushroom dishes or aged Pecorino cheese. Enjoy with decanting in its youth or cellar confidently for 15–20 years as it develops additional complexity and finesse.
