Isole E Olena, Chianti Classico, Italy

This Chianti Classico is a favourite in Michelin star restaurants for its purity, finesse and balance. The fruit is bright and lifted with cherry, cranberry and a gentle spice that builds quietly on the palate. The texture is silky and fresh with a long, graceful finish that makes it perfect for food. It works beautifully with roast meats, tomato based pasta dishes or a simple mushroom risotto. If you want a Chianti that shows real elegance and charm, this bottle delivers every time.

Isole e Olena is one of the great family wineries in Tuscany and much of that reputation comes from Paolo De Marchi. Paolo spent decades shaping this estate into a benchmark for quality, always with a focus on careful farming and gentle winemaking that allows Sangiovese to shine. His wines have become favourites for collectors and sommeliers because they offer depth without heaviness and a sense of place that never feels forced. The vineyards sit in the hills of Barberino Tavarnelle where warm days and cool nights create the ideal conditions for ripe fruit and lively structure.
