Cepparello Sangiovese Toscana IGT 2020 is one of the most renowned Tuscan wines, representing Isole e Olena’s innovative vision in highlighting the potential of Sangiovese. Made from selected grapes from the estate’s vineyards, located at an ideal altitude to develop complexity and freshness, this wine offers a modern interpretation of a grape that has deep roots in Tuscan tradition. The limestone and clay soils, combined with the hillside position, give Cepparello great character and intensity. The winemaking process is carefully planned: the grapes, harvested by hand, undergo a long maceration to maximize aromatic extraction, while spontaneous fermentation occurs thanks to indigenous yeasts. Aging in French oak barrels for approximately 18-20 months contributes to the wine’s elegance and solid structure.
