From one of Tuscany's most respected estates, the 2023 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico beautifully captures the elegance and character of traditional Chianti. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, dried violets, and warm spices mingle with intriguing hints of graphite, smoky oak, and earthy herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers layers of ripe dark berries, juicy cherry, and blood orange, supported by refreshing acidity and polished, velvety tannins. Aged for 12 months in large oak casks, this expressive, well-structured red delivers a lingering, savory finish. An exceptional pairing for pasta with rich tomato sauces, roasted meats, and aged cheeses.
