Wine Description
The Isole e Olena Cepparello 2020 is a total game-changer in the world of wine, thanks to Paolo de Marchi. This guy’s a wine wizard, and his latest creation is like nothing else. It’s made entirely from the best Sangiovese grapes of 2020 and has been chilling in French oak barrels, showing just how serious they are about making top-notch wine. Since around 1993, this wine has just been getting better and better, and a lot of that is thanks to their vineyards in Barberino Val d’Elsa, right in the prime zone of Chianti Classico, Italy. It’s a beautiful spot that’s perfect for growing grapes.
When you pour a glass of this wine, you’re hit with this amazing bright ruby color that just looks inviting. It’s got this wild mix of smells that’ll take you from sweet flowers to fresh berries with a bit of spice thrown in. Tasting it is another adventure. It’s got layers of flavors, like red cherries and a touch of earthiness, all balanced out with this deep, savory taste and smooth tannins that are typical for a Sangiovese from Toscana in 2020.
Critics can’t get enough of it. It’s been praised left and right for being rich and full of flavors like cherry, strawberry, and Tuscan herbs. It’s a wine that’s expected to just get better with age, peaking from 2025 to 2045. Wine Spectator even gave it a 96 out of 100! Paolo De Marchi really outdid himself with this one, especially since he’s thinking about retiring. It’s like his goodbye letter, packed with flavors of dark plum, redcurrant, and a bunch of other stuff, all at a perfect 13.5% alcohol.
Other wine experts, like Decanter and James Suckling, say it’s still got a lot of room to grow, pointing out its bright cherry taste and how it finishes with a strong, yet balanced, touch. Vinous is all about its bold character and the deep flavors, from dark fruit to a bit of herbal and floral action, calling it a standout representation of the 2020 vintage.
When you stack it up against the 2019 version, the 2020 Cepparello is just on another level with its refined taste and complexity. It’s a shining example of how the winery keeps pushing the boundaries, mixing old-school techniques with new ideas right in the heart of Italy. For anyone who’s into wine, the Isole e Olena Cepparello 2020 is like a sneak peek into the future of Italian winemaking.
