The Story
Still red IGT Toscana, 15% ABV, produced by Isole e Olena. 100% Sangiovese, 1.50 l magnum, 2022 vintage. A wine that embodies the quintessential Tuscan Sangiovese, a Cepparello born from a stream adjacent to a densely planted vineyard. It matures for 18 months in French and American oak barriques, then ages for a year in bottle. The color is ruby red tending towards violet. On the nose, aromas of cherry, black cherry, and blackcurrant combine with hints of bitter chocolate on a spicy undertone. The tannins are rough and the acidity is still crisp but well-balanced. The finish is dry, recalling the opening fruit, with a medium-long finish.
