ISOLE E OLENA |
| Fairly deep red in colour, the very gently complex, slightly minerally, rose-violet floral nose has fresh ripe Damson plum fruit with some faint cassis-tinged, caramel-brioche notes. Dry, medium-plus bodied, still youthful, harmonious, bright, elegant Damson plum flavours with some cassis-raspberry notes on the lingering, harmonious, gently cedary finish. This still somewhat restrained 100% Sangiovese icon has 15% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L.17.23 on the back label. It really needs another 5-10 years to develop. I have now reviewed 9 of the 13 Vintages releases of Cepparello over the past 18 years and in general they are very youthful when released and need time to develop and become significantly tastier. |

| TASTING NOTE: In this vintage Cepparello shows very restrained notes of red cherries, dried violets and a lot of stony minerality. There is a meaty and savory character in depth. Overall very precise and integrated. Velvety tannins dominate the palate, showing a chalky texture, even dusty, with a full body, amazing concentration and very refreshing acidity. The finish is brightly focused on cherry pits. A good wine for the long haul. Possibly one of the best Cepparello ever. Best after 2031. Score - 99 (jamessuckling.com, July 2, 2024) |
