A dark expression of black current, blackberry, iron, an tar flavours renders this red slightly ominous, showing ripeness and harmony. Vibrant, ending with a good grip. 92 points.
”Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and burnt orange follow through to a full body with round yet firm tannins. A lovely, pure finish. Shows focus and finesse. 93 points.
”Isole e Olena is one of the most famous wineries in Italy. Winemaker Paolo di Marchi makes wines with thrilling fruit and slender, juicy, willowy tannins. It comes from high altitude vineyards in the western part of Chianti Classico, open to breezes coming in from the sea. Pretty and seductive…
”This wine delivers attractive spiced raspberries and red cherries on the nose with a gentle herbal kick. The medium-weight palate has assertive acidity amid fine-cut tannins and tangy, fresh cherry fruits.
”Fresh and very approachable; this is a wine to win around those sceptical of Chianti Classico’s charms.
”Still quite closed, with hints of sage blossom, red plum and cinnamon peeking out. It's not as rich as some of its peers, but there is good fruit concentration to flesh out the tannins, and tangy acidity to stimulate the appetite. 90 points
”A smooth and silky Sangiovese that glides clean over the palate with strength and intensity. Bright cherry, blueberry and herbal accents with wild sage and rosemary characterize the finish. Like many other wines from the 2015 vintage, there is an evident touch of cherry sweetness on the close. 92 Points
