Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

Really quite nice, and a perfect pairing with a Tuscan style bistecca. Have wanted to try Isole e Olena for a while but I think this was the first time. Dark cherry, some dusty restrained tannins, excellent acid of course. Another nice 2020 Chianti. — 22 days ago

What a leap forward compared to 2 years ago. Finally revealing itself. Sweet nose, elegant and silky. If it continues evolving like this: wow! — 8 months ago

Cepparello Toscana Sangiovese 2014

Wild Smokey cherry flavor as if we threw this wine into a cherrywood smoke. Funky but good. — 23 days ago

Cepparello Estate Bottled Toscana Sangiovese 2006

Tasted over 6 hours. Classic. One of the better Cepparello I have had, particularly with age. Classic Sangiovese with tart cherry, some plum, mint, and tertiary tobacco, with some floral and leather. Perfect acidity, mouthwatering, but the tannin could be a little more polished as they are a bit chewy and chalky at the moment. Med/med+ body, with a med+ finish. Very good and would buy more. — a month ago

Isole Olena Toscana Chardonnay 2018

This wine is medium gold. The nose opens up to a bouquet of stone and tropical fruit notes such as ripe peach, apricot, papaya, starfruit, melon, and cantaloupe.

Other primary aromas include orange peel, wet stone, white blossom, and salinity. This wine also has secondary notes of sweet cream, brioche, pencil shavings, and vanilla.

The flavors on the palate are consistent. It’s a full bodied white with high alcohol (14%) and has a rich mouthfeel, balanced by a dose of acidity.

Collezione Privata Toscana IGT Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

This wine is stunning. I’m not sure why the average ratings are as low as they are. The nose was gorgeous, the color was bright and lively as was the fruit on the palate with enough acidity to give this wine a long drinking window. — 19 days ago

A Sofia Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2018

Sofia’s favorite vineyard plot. A “smoke show” we called it. Generally the 19s were the standouts — beautifully balanced and giving all of the dried herb and earthy notes typical of great Chianti Classico — but this was an exception, opulent and spicey (allspice, cinnamon, cedar) and so so fragrant. Stay in the look out for these wines — Sofia (the estate manager) and Giocomo (vineyard manger and cellar master, most recently of Isole & Olena) are making some really intentional and pretty wines here. — a year ago
