Cepparello Toscana IGT Tuscany

The Cepparello from Isole e Olena is a single-varietal Sangiovese that brings together depth and freshness: plenty of fruit, fine spice, and a structure that gives the wine tension.

The grapes come from over 35-year-old vines on Galestro soils, a stony, calcareous marl soil, at an altitude of around 400 meters in the heart of Chianti Classico. After fermentation, the wine matures for 18 months in French barriques, one-third of which are new, and then lies in the bottle for another year. The wood supports the wine without covering the fruit.

In the glass, it glows in brilliant ruby red. On the nose, red cherries and raspberries meet violets, a hint of eucalyptus, and fine spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, the tannins are silky, and the acidity remains lively. The finish is long and elegant.

It is best served at 16 to 18 °C. It goes with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised veal cheeks, pappardelle with game ragout, or mature Pecorino.
