Isole e Olena Chianti Classico DOCG 2019

The Isole e Olena Chianti Classico DOCG 2019 is a Tuscan red of great balance, capable of uniting immediacy, precision, and territorial identity. It comes from the hills of Barberino Val d’Elsa, in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, and interprets the character of Sangiovese with a modern yet respectful style of tradition, accompanied by Canaiolo and a small percentage of Syrah.

Territory and wine style

The Chianti Classico DOCG designation is among the most representative expressions of Tuscan wine, and this tasting highlights its elegant and gastronomic vocation. The grapes come from vineyards located on the gentle hills of Barberino Val d’Elsa, in the province of Florence, a context that favors wines with a clear personality, supported by freshness and a well-defined taste-olfactory structure. Aging in barriques and barrels for about 12 months helps refine the profile without overshadowing the character of the fruit.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a beautiful deep ruby red color, with violet reflections. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of red and black fruits, violet, rose, and hints of underbrush, with a measured spiciness and a well-integrated touch of wood. The palate is round and velvety, with good structure, vibrant acidity, and a pleasant sense of balance. The finish is long, aromatic, and clean, with a progression that invites a second sip.
