Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2020 Toscana DOCG
(Tuscany, Italy) - [JS 93] [DM 93] [WS 93]

Notes from the Winemaker:
The Chianti Classico DOCG is a blend of Sangiovese with Canaiolo, unique to Isole e Olena, which brings bright acidity, great balance and a long finish to this classic wine.

Tasting Notes:

Crafted to capture the fruit flavors and bouquet of Chianti, this wine shows great balance and drinkability with a lively acidity to pair with a wide range of foods. Our goal is to produce an outstanding Chianti Classico which expresses the site and our traditional varieties, Sangiovese and Canaiolo.

Vintage Notes:

A cool spring was followed by a long, hot summer, with good day-night temperature variation (the minimum temperatures were quite moderate in both July and August) allowing the grapes to complete their maturation perfectly. Also important was the absence of water shortage, thanks to rain in June and September. All these factors made for another excellent year for Chianti Classico, with great structure and balance.
