Tack room, raspberry, roses. Typical lifted Isole style, with just the tiniest touch of va. The best Classico of the vintage? #isoleeolena #sangiovese #chianticlassico

Popped and poured. A very good example of CC. Cranberries, mulberries, black tea, dried herbs. An excellent accompaniment to pasta all’arrabbiata.

LOVE. Cherries, cranberries, dried herbs and flowers, intense minerality. $23???? Get out. Value of the century.

Med - intensity and complexity. Nose was driven by red cherry, red berries, leather, and herbs. An awkward pallet with disjointed acid and a slight metallic note. #isoleeolena #chianticlassico #sangiovese #tuscany #italy #ctbucklinwine
