What is this wine?
Isole e Olena, founded by Paolo De Marchi in the 1970s, is one of Chianti Classico’s most admired estates. Situated in Barberino Tavarnelle, the vineyards lie at high elevation on stony galestro soils, producing wines of finesse and structure. The Chianti Classico is 100% Sangiovese, fermented with native yeasts and aged in a mix of French and Slavonian oak. The 2022 vintage brought warm days balanced by cool nights, yielding wines with ripe fruit and fresh acidity. Offered here in half-bottle (375ml), it’s perfect for when a full bottle isn’t needed.

Why get this wine?
Isole e Olena’s Chianti Classico has long been a benchmark for the region—elegant, precise, and age-worthy yet approachable young. In the convenient 375ml size, it’s ideal for weeknights, dinners for two, or when you want a glass of top-quality Tuscan red without opening a full bottle.

What does this wine taste like?
Bright red cherry and raspberry with notes of violet, spice, and earthy herbs. Medium-bodied, with lively acidity, polished tannins, and a long, mineral finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Delicious now with a quick decant, but will age gracefully for 8–10 years even in half-bottle format. Perfect with tomato-based pastas, grilled meats, or aged pecorino.

Left Chianti Classico

Nestled on a perfect hillside in Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena has some of the most coveted vineyards in the entire region. As a 4th generation winemaker in his family Paolo de Marchi has been at the helm of the winery since the 1970s. He spent many harvests in California as well as France, which influenced him to modernize and improve many aspects of viticulture and winemaking in Chianti.

Professional Reviews

Jancis Robinson

"Youthful mid ruby. Peppery strawberry with savoury spice notes underneath. Tangy cherry fruit of real bite and sandpapery tannins all beautifully balanced. Just a tiny bit of heat on the finish, but that won’t spoil the fun." -Walter Speller

Decanter

D 92
"Timely rain in late August alleviated the stress experienced by the vines during a very hot summer. Considerable richness comes through on the nose, with its mulchy cherry aromas. It’s an intense wine with firm acidity and distinct sour cherry flavours. Vibrant, youthful, and surprisingly fresh, it has a pungent finish that promises a long future." -Stephen Brook
