Isole e Olena
In the picturesque setting of the Tuscan hills, among the intense aromas of the vineyards and the song of cypresses touching the sky, stands the Isole e Olena winery, a true gem of the Chianti Classico. The history of this winery is one of an oenological renaissance, a symbol of the rebirth of Chianti, where tradition and innovation intertwine to create wines that embody the elegance and authenticity of the region.
The beating heart of Isole e Olena's production is the Chianti Classico region, a place where nature expresses itself through a mosaic of soils and microclimates, perfectly suited to the cultivation of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Here, the meeting of respect for viticultural traditions and an innovative approach to winemaking gives rise to labels of extraordinary quality.
The production philosophy of Isole e Olena is based on a wise balance between traditional and modern techniques, allowing the best expression of the potential of the cultivated varieties. Sangiovese, the symbolic grape of Tuscany, finds one of its highest expressions here, producing wines with a decisive character and remarkable longevity. Alongside it, Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and complexity, contributing to the creation of wines of great elegance and harmony.
Among the winery's gems, Cepparello stands out, a cult label for wine enthusiasts. This Supertuscan embodies the essence of Chianti Classico, with its enveloping aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and a slight balsamic touch. On the palate, it reveals complexity and persistence, making it an ideal companion for the most special moments, capable of gracefully evolving over time.

THE COMPANY
Isole e Olena represents one of the most important winemaking realities of Chianti Classico, of which it is a faithful and wise interpreter. The winery is located within the municipality of Barberino Val d’Elsa, halfway between Florence and Siena, where in 1956 the De Marchi family, of Piedmontese origin, acquired this property whose name derives from the nearby locations of Isole and Olena. The year 1976 was a turning point when Paolo De Marchi, a young winemaker returning from an experience in Napa Valley, took over the viticultural and enological reins of the estate, starting to experiment with the planting of international varieties while simultaneously focusing on pure Sangiovese, which at the time was counter-trend compared to the popular “Chianti formula” that involved the addition of other black and white grape varieties. Thus, in 1980, ‘Cepparello’ was born, a label that has made history for the winery and the territory, becoming one of the symbols of the winemaking renaissance of Chianti. In 2022, the property was acquired by the French family group Epi.
The 56 hectares of vineyards belonging to the Tuscan winery Isole e Olena are located at an altitude between 350 and 490 meters above sea level, on soils characterized by an abundant presence of clay, galestro, and sandstone. Alongside the indigenous varieties Sangiovese and Canaiolo, the estate cultivates international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Viognier. The harvests are carried out by hand with careful selection of the grapes, and after fermentation, which takes place in steel tanks and oak vats, the wines age primarily in new or used barriques.
The wines from Isole e Olena are of sublime elegance and class, representing the highest territorial expressions, such as in the case of ‘Cepparello’, Chianti Classico, and Vin Santo, or they are pioneering in showing the potential of the area for international grape varieties, as in the case of the ‘Collezione Privata’ line. Beyond the label in question, the bottles from Isole e Olena fully reflect the style and skill of their creator, Paolo De Marchi.
