A refined and harmonious Sangiovese with notes of cherry and gentle spice, alive with freshness and elegant structure. Azienda Isole e Olena.
Chianti Classico 2022 Azienda Isole e Olena embodies with precision the elegance and depth of Sangiovese in one of Chianti Classico's historic zones, at San Donato in Poggio in the western part of the appellation. An emblematic domaine founded in the 1950s and led for decades by Paolo De Marchi, Isole e Olena played a key role in the qualitative renaissance of Chianti Classico, restoring to Sangiovese all its nobility through precise work on clones, yields and site-specific expression.
The vines, situated between 350 and 450 metres altitude, rest on poor soils of galestro and clayey marnes, perfectly suited to Sangiovese. The climate, tempered by altitude and maritime influences, allows slow and complete ripening, preserving freshness, aromatic finesse and natural balance. The domaine's philosophy privileges respectful viticulture and precise winemaking, seeking above all fruit purity and terroir clarity.
The 2022 vintage, composed principally of Sangiovese with a touch of Canaiolo, is vinified in stainless steel tanks then aged in large vessels to preserve tension and elegance. The wine presents a luminous ruby colour. The nose opens onto clean aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry and morello cherry, accompanied by floral notes of violet, Mediterranean herbs and gentle spice. The palate is straight, energetic, carried by the vivifying acidity typical of Sangiovese and fine, perfectly integrated tannins. The whole is harmonious, precise, with a persistent and savoury finish.
This Chianti Classico 2022 seduces through its balance between approachability and depth. It pairs ideally with authentic Italian cuisine: pasta with tomato or ragù, grilled meats, roasted lamb, or aged sheep's cheeses. Already very expressive today, it will evolve serenely over 8 to 12 years, gaining complexity without losing its freshness.
Highly rated by international critics, this Chianti Classico 2022 from Isole e Olena stands as a reference of the appellation: a precise, elegant wine, profoundly Tuscan, perfect for discovering or rediscovering great Sangiovese in an interpretation both classical and contemporary.
