| Description: | "Isole" and "Olena" were once two separate Tuscan wine farms, but in the 1950s, the De Marchi family purchased the properties and united them. For years, Isole e Olena remained family-owned-and-operated, helmed by Paolo de Marchi, fourth generation winemaker and trained enologist. Paolo bought his family estate, salvaged the property, and began the slow process of renovating the buildings and vineyards. Paolo's dedication to his vineyards, to Tuscan grapes, and to Italian winemaking made Isole e Olena a trendsetter by crafts some of Italy's most evocative wines from its 125 acres in western Chianti Classico. In 2022, Paolo decided to sell Isole e Olena to EPI, the French group who also owns Biondi-Santi in Montalcino; however, Paolo's son, Luca, helms the estate, ensuring the quality that this producer is beloved for. In addition to Cepparello, the estate's renowned mono-varietal Sangiovese Super Tuscan, Isole e Olena also crafts Chianti Classico and a Vin Santo under the marquee label, as well as an array of internationally styled Super Tuscans under the Collezione de Marchi label. |
