Natalie's Score: 99/100

Isole e Olena Cepparello 2020 is a muscular, bold and full-bodied, Super Tuscan produced from 100% Sangiovese. Cepparello was produced for the first time in 1980, becoming one of the first Super Tuscans. Grapes are sourced from Old Vines Sangiovese, select estate clones in the northwestern part of Chianti Classico from high-elevation vineyards in galestro soils (1,500 feet above sea level). The wine is aged up to 20 months in French oak barrels (30% new). Juicy and velvety on the palate with ripe black cherry, plum, blue florals, dried herbs and flinty flavours, it can cellar for a few more years to show its very best. Drink from 2028 to 2045 and enjoy it with rich pasta, roast pork or meaty ragus.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
