98 Vinous
The 2020 Cepparello is a total stunner, just as it was last year. Deeply colored, layered and explosive in the glass, the 2020 possesses striking textural richness and overall intensity. Black cherry, graphite, plum, spice and lavender flesh out effortlessly. There's tremendous pedigree and sheer stature here. Cepparello is surely one of the wines of the year. Drink 2027-2045.

Supple and smooth, the 2020 Cepparello brings Sangiovese to soaring heights in a manner only Paolo De Marchi can manage. This is his second to last vintage before he would retire and sell this historic estate. The wine opens to medium to full-bodied concentration with dark plum and redcurrant. Those cede to sweet spice, earth, crushed stone, rusty nail and candied orange peel. Give the wine more time to flesh out with cellar age. It registers a powerful 15% alcohol content.

Producer
Isole e Olena
Located on the slopes outside of San Gimiganano, the inspiring Isole e Olena estate can be recognized as one of Tuscany’s rising star. The property was initially formed by the coupling of two farms, Isole and Olena that were purchased by the Piedmontese De Marchi family in the 1950s. The stunning beauty of the tiny twin hamlets, straddling each side of this historic estate is absolutely wondrous. Current proprietor, Paolo De Marchi has made a lasting impression on the winery. As a talented enologist himself, his inventive opinions have transformed Isole e Olena into the dynamic producer that we know today. His enthusiastic and engaging personality defines their landmark set of wines, from his Chianti Classico to his flagship, Cepparello. Initially introduced in 1980, this 100% Sangiovese Grand Vin set new standards in Italy, pioneering the pure Sangiovese movement. Crafted from a selection of the estate’s best fruit, the wine is aged in French oak barrels showing enormous finesse.
