Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2013 DOCG 0.75l

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2013 DOCG 0.75l is a red wine born in the heart of Tuscany, in the renowned Chianti Classico region, where the Sangiovese grape finds an ideal home to express its identity, elegance, and longevity. This bottle recounts a complex and generous season, combining depth and freshness, ripe fruit, and a subtle savory flavor that promises to evolve over time.

The history of the Isole e Olena winery is intertwined with a Tuscan tradition of oversight; it is a winery that has built its identity through attention to the vineyard, respectful soil management, and a careful understanding of the terroir. Over time, it has developed a reputation based on artisanal rigor, collaboration with trusted agronomists, and a vision focused on consistent quality rather than fleeting market fluctuations.

The production philosophy is based on daily vineyard care, responsible farming practices, and a winemaking process that seeks a balance between fruit expression and controlled ripening. Sustainable yields, clean fermentations, maceration that maintains texture and structure without exaggerating tannins, and aging that refines aromas, smoothness, and minerality in barrels of varying sizes and ages are key to maintaining freshness and longevity.

Among its distinguishing features are the balance between aromatic intensity and stylistic purity, a tannic texture that refines with age, and a persistent flavor that invites further exploration. The use of select native grapes, combined with careful management of skin contact time and a focus on the clay and limestone soil, creates a distinctive signature wine that stands out among the many expressions of the appellation.

Notes of cherry and black cherry, accompanied by hints of violet, black pepper, and a hint of cocoa, compose an already complex bouquet. On the palate, the texture is velvety, the freshness maintains a lively edge, the structure is well-integrated, and the minerality emerges on the finish, where a subtle savory flavor accompanies an aftertaste of licorice and delicate spices.

Within the Isole e Olena range, this 2013 Chianti Classico DOCG occupies a benchmark position: an example of how the winery interprets Tuscan tradition without sacrificing maturity, offering a wine ready for consumption but capable of patiently evolving over time.

In line with STELT's positioning, this is a wine that combines territory, quality, and simplicity, capable of accompanying structured dishes and moments of contemplation with a controlled and lasting presence.
