  • Tasting Note
     Showing orange hues, the wine offers aromas and flavors of cherry liqueur, humus and cedar wood. Its attack is full of fruit and balanced by healthy freshness. Silky and supple, the wine shows well-balanced tannins that persist throughout a flavorful and complex experience ending with a touch of spices.
  • Comment
    Formerly sold to the Antinori family between 1950 and 1969, grapes from the small 290-hectare Isole e Olena property are now used to craft this Chianti Classico. Paolo de Marchi, the winemaker responsible for this wine, says he prefers complexity to power. Therefore, only a portion of this wine ages in barrels.
