"The 2016 Cepparello is dense, dark and also very closed in on itself. Those qualities bode well for the future, but readers will have to be patient, as the 2016 is going to need at least a few years to come into its own. Black cherry, plum, lavender, spice and new leather gradually open up in the glass, but the 2016 is not ready to show all of its cards. This fruit was brought in during the second week of October, which is pretty much optimal at Isole e Olena. The 2016 spent 20 months in French oak, with a bit less than 30% new oak, and a few months in cask prior to bottling. An explosion of floral and spice notes punctuates the super-refined finish. The 2016 is shaping up to be epic. Don't miss it!" 97+ Antonio Galloni
Paolo de Marchi is a living legend, who creates ‘wine of origin’ following his very own individual philosophy. Always with a twinkle in his eye, he is a wonderful and modest man in perpetual search for balance, elegance, and finesse in his wines. He has become one of the world’s foremost shapers of Sangiovese.
