    Isole e Olena

    A small Chianti house with a reputation for producing some of the purest, most classical wines in the region. Our allocation is light with us receiving about 20 cases a year of the Chianti Classico. The owner and winemaker, Paolo de Marchi has been described as almost maniacal in his attention to detail in both his vineyards and his wine production. Isole also produce their own 'Super Tuscan' called Cepparello which is usually 100% Sangiovese. This is regularly spoken about as one of Tuscany's finest and most elegant wines.
