Cepparello 2022
Descrizione
Cepparello rappresenta una pietra miliare fondamentale nella storia vinicola della Toscana, affermandosi come uno dei Supertoscani più all’avanguardia ed emblematici. Prodotto dalla famosa cantina Isole e Olena, questo rosso è nato con la ferma ambizione di rivendicare la grandezza e la purezza del Sangiovese, sfidando sin dall’inizio le rigide norme della zona. Proveniente da un’accurata selezione delle parcelle più soleggiate su terreni di galestro, matura con cura in rovere francese e in bottiglia, il che gli conferisce una raffinatezza senza tempo. Un vero e proprio vino di culto, profondo ed equilibrato, pensato per i grandi appassionati del territorio toscano.

Restrained at the first sniff, this vintage shines with smoky and straw aromas, together with intense violets, bright red cherries and cherry stones. Cedar wood in depth. Full-bodied and extracted, yet full of fruit sweetness, displaying velvety tannins and crisp integrated acidity which enhances and lengthens the cherry flavor. Super polished finish which is not always the case in this vintage. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. (Aldo Fiordelli)
Brilliant ruby colour with a fine garnet shimmer. Opens with notes of tobacco, then lots of cherry, some raspberry, blackberry and milk chocolate. Juicy and clearly defined fruit on the palate, lots of raspberry, opens with fine-knit, polished tannins, spans a wide arc, salty on the finish.
This is my first taste of Isole e Olena's landmark wine now that this historic estate has passed from the ownership of the De Marchi family to France's EPI Group (Société Européenne de Participations Industrielles). The 2022 Cepparello is all Sangiovese from this magnificent property that covers the rolling hills between two tiny hamlets, one named Isole and the other Olena. In between are vineyards on well-draining soils with galestro shale, open vistas and gentle breezes. These conditions contribute to the vibrancy of the fruit and its natural freshness. Winemaking for Cepparello follows a familiar pattern, starting with fermentation in cone-shaped vats and aging in a combination of barrique, tonneaux and botte grande for 18 months. I can't say that this is my favorite vintage of Cepparello, especially when I think back to 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2021. The 2022 offers sweeping flavors and good concentration, but it does not have the same depth or length. With dark cherry, blackcurrant, spice and iris root, this is an elegant wine with an accessible personality that makes it approachable without too much fuss. Production is 50,000 bottles.
The nose is spry and delicate, and less plump and opulent than the high alcohol would suggest, and it exudes ripe cherry fruit. The fine attack leads to a velvety palate, compact and backed by firm acidity. The alcohol is not that evident and the wine finishes with welcome elegance, polish and length of flavour.
