2022 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico, Tuscany Italy

A Happy Wine Calle Ocho Favorite — Rated 93 Points

Isole e Olena was born in 1956 when two medieval villages in the heart of Chianti Classico were joined into one estate. It has been a benchmark for the appellation ever since.

The Chianti Classico blends Sangiovese with a touch of Canaiolo, a traditional local grape that adds freshness and lift.
