Isole e Olena Cepparello - 2010 (750ml) Fortified and Dessert Performing considerably better than itThe extraordinary 2010 Cepparello (100% Sangiovese aged up to 18 months in oak, one third new) presents fine nuances of red berry, cherry, spice, tar, licorice, wet earth and forest leaf. The bouquet is very elegant but this wine delivers power too with tight structure that immediately wraps around the palate. Somewhere in the crossroads between tradition and modernity, Cepparello is a stunning wine. Anticipated maturity: 2015 2030. Wine Advocate 95
