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":"2023-01-03T10:25:55-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-29T08:31:12-05:00","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_cabernet sauvignon"],"price":29899,"price_min":29899,"price_max":29899,"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":42652673802378,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Isole e Olena | Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":29899,"weight":12247,"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\/6_975129c1-b6af-41bf-bf44-0bb95cf7835b.png?v=1672320769"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6_975129c1-b6af-41bf-bf44-0bb95cf7835b.png?v=1672320769","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Isole e Olena | Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata at CaskCartel.com","id":23866874265738,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.432,"height":1537,"width":664,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6_975129c1-b6af-41bf-bf44-0bb95cf7835b.png?v=1672320769"},"aspect_ratio":0.432,"height":1537,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/6_975129c1-b6af-41bf-bf44-0bb95cf7835b.png?v=1672320769","width":664}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2016 | Isole e Olena | Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solid, polished cabernet with blackcurrant, cedar and light walnut aromas and flavors that follow through to a medium to full body and fine, polished tannins that are driven and racy.
