Cepparello is one of the great varietal Sangiovese classics from central Tuscany. Brilliant ruby red colour. Clean, flawless aroma of red fruits, enlivened by fine pepper accents and delicate mineral nuances. Elegance radiates from the relaxed, enveloping flavour, which delivers a perfectly measured acidity framework to a well-integrated tannin to finish long and full of finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, strong ruby colour with a slight garnet sheen. Very compact on the nose, dark cherries, lots of blackberry, with fine spicy notes behind it. Radiant on the palate, showing lots of ripe red berry fruit, grippy, dense tannins coated with a beautiful melting texture, firm and compact, with a long final." Falstaff

"Fragrant potpourri and medicinal aromas are reminiscent of the 2006, while the structured palate shows pure, ripe cherry with some damp earth and even an umami hint of mushroom, laced with bright acidity. Lively and layered, it's still in its youthful phase but will be great once it's had time to develop." Decanter

"The 2019 Cepparello is very impressive, even though it has only just been bottled. Generous and creamy, with its classic, medium-bodied structure, the 2019 has so much to offer. Silky tannins wrap around a core of red and violet berry fruit. New leather, spice and a hint of oak meld together effortlessly in the glass. I can't wait to taste it in another 6-12 months or so. The 2019 is shaping up to be an absolute top wine." Vinous

"Savory, almost meaty profile in this vintage, with lush red cherries and blood oranges, as well as balsamic depth with a kind of pine-resin character. Full-bodied, it shows density and extraction with ripe fruit and a clean, powerful finish. Super fresh aftertaste." James Suckling

"The Isole e Olena 2019 Cepparello, one of the iconic wines of Tuscany, is a pure Sangiovese made by the loving hands of a winemaking legend, the great Paolo De Marchi. In fact, this wine opens a discussion about the future of this famous IGT Toscana, a wine that followed a rigorous vision and style under De Marchi. It is elegant and rich with fine flavours of black and purple fruits. It is fermented in oak barrels and matured for 20 months in French barriques, a third of which in new oak." Wine Advocate
