Note di degustazione
The Isole e Olena 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata is actually mostly Cabernet Sauvignon tweaked with small percentages of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot (with 5,000 bottles released). These other varieties serve to flesh out the wine and tighten the bouquet. It boasts luscious dark concentration with black fruit, grilled herb, crushed stone and sweet crème de cassis. Those bold flavors are followed by a 15% alcohol content (a sign of the times with ongoing climate change) that is gracefully integrated here. This is another long-term proposition for your cellar.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata is another stellar wine in this range from Isole e Olena and Paolo De Marchi. Still pretty tightly wound, the 2018 is going to need at least a few years to fully unwind. Dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, mocha and espresso are some of the many aromas and flavors that start to open with a bit of aeration. The Isole Cabernet has a brilliant track record of aging. I expect the 2018 will one day take its place among the very finest editions.
Informazioni sul produttore
Situata a nord di Castellina, sul versante occidentale del Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena, fondata dalla famiglia De Marchi negli anni ’50, è oggi uno dei nomi di riferimento della regione. Celebre per il suo Cepparello, Sangiovese in purezza, e per l’elegante Chardonnay.
