It has been credited with helping revive the quality of Chianti in the 1970s, and its flagship wine – Cepparello – is one of the most famous wines falling under the Super Tuscan designation. The estate lies within the boundaries of the Chianti Classico DOCG, a few hours' drive south of Florence in western Chianti. It was formed from the purchase and consolidation of two neighboring properties – Isole and Olena – by the De Marchi family in the 1950s. In the 1970s, Isole e Olena began a push toward quality, and fourth-generation winemaker Paolo de Marchi began to improve viticulture and viniculture techniques to make better wines in smaller quantities. In 1980, De Marchi released the first vintage of Cepparello, a wine that was then excluded from the title of Chianti Classico as it was 100 percent Sangiovese. It instead was bottled as a Vino da Tavola, or table wine, and joined the ranks of the so-called Super Tuscans, alongside wines like Tignanello and Masseto. These were able to claim the title of Toscana IGT in 1992. Isole e Olena make several other wines, including a Chianti Classico, a Vin Santo, and a range of wines made from more international varieties like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon under the name Collezione de Marchi. In addition to this, the company makes a Syrah called L'Eremo.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-03T10:28:21-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-29T09:08:55-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK2912","other_italian wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Isole e Olena","Region_Tuscany","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Sangiovese"],"price":199899,"price_min":199899,"price_max":199899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42652735864970,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2015 | Isole e Olena | Chianti Classico Gran Selezione OWC of 3","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":199899,"weight":34019,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/13_294ecf1c-f268-4ece-8376-d8bfe7372036.png?v=1672322973","\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/14_cb26ce5c-11f4-4b97-8991-94c62a12a5c0.png?v=1672322978"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/13_294ecf1c-f268-4ece-8376-d8bfe7372036.png?v=1672322973","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2015 | Isole e Olena | Chianti Classico Gran Selezione OWC of 3 at CaskCartel.com","id":23867098792074,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.422,"height":1480,"width":625,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/13_294ecf1c-f268-4ece-8376-d8bfe7372036.png?v=1672322973"},"aspect_ratio":0.422,"height":1480,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/13_294ecf1c-f268-4ece-8376-d8bfe7372036.png?v=1672322973","width":625},{"alt":"2015 | Isole e Olena | Chianti Classico Gran Selezione OWC of 3 at CaskCartel.com","id":23867099283594,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.792,"height":973,"width":771,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/14_cb26ce5c-11f4-4b97-8991-94c62a12a5c0.png?v=1672322978"},"aspect_ratio":0.792,"height":973,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/14_cb26ce5c-11f4-4b97-8991-94c62a12a5c0.png?v=1672322978","width":771}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2015 | Isole e Olena | Chianti Classico Gran Selezione OWC of 3\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dark expression of black currant, blackberry, iron and tar flavors renders this red slightly ominous, showing ripeness and harmony.
