The 2022 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico Magnum (1500ml) is a classic expression of Tuscany’s most famous wine region, crafted by one of Chianti Classico’s benchmark estates. Produced predominantly from Sangiovese and grown in the rolling hills surrounding Barberino Val d’Elsa, this wine balances vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and freshness. The magnum format offers excellent ageing potential, allowing the wine to evolve slowly and gracefully over time.
The nose is fragrant and inviting, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside notes of violet, dried herbs and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity, fine-grained tannins and layers of fresh red fruit. Hints of tobacco, earthy nuances and mineral detail add complexity, leading to a long, balanced finish that is both elegant and distinctly Tuscan.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Chianti Classico for those who appreciate traditional Sangiovese with purity, freshness and food-friendly appeal. The magnum format makes it ideal for entertaining, special occasions and extended cellaring. Pair with wood-fired pizza, pasta with ragù, grilled lamb, roasted pork or aged Pecorino cheese. Enjoy now with a little time in the glass or cellar over the next 10–15 years as additional complexity develops.
