Isole e Olena
In the suggestive setting of the Tuscan hills, among the intense scents of the vineyards and the song of the cypress trees that touch the sky, stands the Isole e Olena winery, an authentic jewel of the Chianti Classico. The history of this winery is that of an oenological renaissance, a symbol of the rebirth of Chianti, where tradition and innovation intertwine to give life to wines that embody the elegance and authenticity of the territory.
The beating heart of Isole e Olena's production is the Chianti Classico territory, a region where nature expresses itself through a mosaic of soils and microclimates, perfectly suited to the cultivation of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It is here that the encounter between respect for viticultural traditions and an innovative approach to winemaking gives life to labels of extraordinary quality.
Isole e Olena's production philosophy is based on a wise balance between traditional and modern techniques, which allows the potential of the cultivated varieties to be expressed to the fullest. Sangiovese, the symbolic grape of Tuscany, finds one of its greatest expressions here, giving wines with a strong character and remarkable longevity. Alongside it, Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and complexity, contributing to the creation of wines of great elegance and harmony.
Among the gems of the winery, Cepparello stands out, a cult label for wine lovers. This Supertuscan embodies the essence of Chianti Classico, with its enveloping aromas of ripe red fruits, spices and a light balsamic touch. In the mouth, it reveals itself with a complexity and persistence that make it an ideal companion for the most special moments, capable of evolving gracefully over time.
We invite all wine lovers to discover the elegant creations of Isole e Olena on Vino45, a sensory journey through the rolling Tuscan hills, where every sip tells a story of passion, tradition and innovation.

THE COMPANY
Isole e Olena represents one of the most important winemaking realities of the Chianti Classico, of which it is configured as a faithful and wise interpreter. The winery is located in the municipality of Barberino Val d'Elsa, halfway between Florence and Siena, where in 1956 the De Marchi family, of Piedmontese origin, bought this property whose name derives from the nearby towns of Isole and di Olena. 1976 was the turning point, when Paolo De Marchi, a young winemaker returning from an experience in the Napa Valley, took over the viticultural and oenological reins of the estate, starting to experiment with the planting of international varieties and aiming at the same time on pure Sangiovese , at the time in contrast with the popular "Chianti formula" which provided for the addition of other black and white grape varieties. Thus was born, in 1980, the 'Cepparello', a label that wrote the history of the cellar and the territory, among the symbols of the Chianti wine renaissance. In 2022 the property was acquired by the French Epi family group.
The 56 hectares of vineyards belonging to the Tuscan Isole e Olena winery 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 autochthonous Sangiovese and Canaiolo varieties, the estate cultivates the international vines Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Chardonnay and Viognier. The harvests are carried out by hand with a careful selection of the bunches and after the fermentations, carried out in steel tanks and oak vats, the masses age mainly in barriques of first or more passages.
Those of Isole and Olena are wines of sublime elegance and class, which are configured as maximum territorial expressions, as in the case of 'Cepparello', Chianti Classico and Vin Santo, or they are pioneering in showing the potential vocation of the area towards vines international, as in the case of the 'Collezione Privata' line. Beyond the label in question, the bottles of Isole e Olena fully reflect the style and skill of their creator Paolo De Marchi.
