Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2023

The name ëIsole e Olenaí came about in the 1950s when two adjoining estates, Isole and Olena, were purchased by the De Marchi family and combined to form one. The history of both estates dates back many hundreds of years, and the earliest documentation of the village of Olena goes as far back as the 12th Century. During the 1950s, the De Marchi family planted new specialised vineyards and expanded the cellars. Today, the Isole e Olena estate is run by Paolo De Marchi and his wife Marta. Paolo comes from a family with three generations of winemaking experience in the northern part of Piemonte and his older son, Luca, now runs the family estate there, Proprieta Sperino.

The 2023 growing season saw more balanced weather compared to previous years. Spring began with adequate rainfall, which helped in building up water reserves in the soil. The summer months were warm but without the extreme heat waves experienced in the recent past. Periodic rain during the growing season helped maintain vine health
and grape development.
