Description

Estate-grown, hand-harvested grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with approximately 15 days maceration. During fermentation, delestage and pumping-over takes place twice a day. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked into barrels and 4,000 liter casks where it matures for about one year.

Tuscan legend Paolo De Marchi has spent four decades creating delicious wine at the Isole e Olena estate in the heart of the Chianti Classico hills, so don’t be surprised if you fall in love with the 2016 vintage, crafted with Canaiolo, Syrah and Sangiovese grapes. There are plenty of other noteworthy wines in this collection, including the terrific 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata. These wines show why De Marchi and Isole e Olena occupy a spot among the world’s elite wine estates.
