Parker about Cepparello Magnum 1993
The 1993 Cepparello comes across as somewhat compact next to some of the other wines in this lineup. Dark red fruit, flowers, licorice and spices wrap around the pointed finish. With time in the glass, the wine opens up a bit. There is plenty of depth in the fruit, but the 1993 never sheds its somewhat burly personality.

Cepparello Magnum 1993

Cepparello 1993 is a remarkable Tuscan wine produced by the renowned Azienda Agricola Isole e Olena. A pure Sangiovese, this wine is among the most famous Super Tuscans, a category of wines that combine traditional Italian grape varieties with innovative winemaking methods and are often rewarded with international acclaim.
Isole e Olena, under the direction of winemaker Paolo De Marchi, has earned a reputation for its meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar. The Cepparello is the winery's flagship wine and represents the best of Tuscany's Chianti Classico region.
The 1993 vintage in Tuscany was a year of moderate weather conditions, which contributed to the production of well-structured and harmonious wines. The 1993 Cepparello presents itself in the glass with a deep ruby red color, which, after more than 20 years of aging, already exhibits slight brick-red tones.
On the nose, the wine unfolds a complex and multi-layered bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, complemented by notes of dried flowers, leather, tobacco, and a subtle spice. Over time, aromas of truffle, undergrowth, and balsamic notes may also develop.
On the palate, the 1993 Cepparello presents itself with remarkable balance and elegance. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, giving the wine a silky texture. The lively acidity of the Sangiovese contributes to the freshness and harmonizes perfectly with the fruity and spicy aromas. The finish is long and complex, making the wine a true pleasure.
The 1993 Cepparello's ageing potential is impressive. Although it has already been aged for many years, it can be aged further to develop additional complexity and depth. For wine lovers and collectors, this wine represents a valuable addition and offers the opportunity to witness the evolution of a first-class Tuscan wine over the years.
