Parker about Chianti Classico 2021
The Isole e Olena 2021 Chianti Classico is a softly textured and charming wine that is impeccably buttoned up and balanced. It offers terrific value at this price point. This wine is packed with bright fruit, wild cherry and blue flower. It ends with a blast of refreshing acidity that is consistent with Sangiovese.

Suckling over Chianti Classico 2021
Super-spicy Chianti fully focused on licorice root, restrained black cherries, fresh violets and meaty notes. It seems to be a serious effort, with graphite flavors allied to firm, chalky and chewy tannins, crisp acidity and a super-polished finish. Drinkable now, but can hold.

Chianti Classico 2021

The 2021 Chianti Classico from Isole e Olena is a remarkable expression of Tuscan wine tradition. This wine presents itself with an intense ruby red color and unfolds on the nose a complex bouquet of red berries, cherries, and a hint of violet, accompanied by delicate herbal notes and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, it displays an elegant balance between freshness and structure, with lively acidity and ripe, well-integrated tannins. The aromas of juicy fruit blend harmoniously with hints of earth, tobacco, and a touch of wood, reflecting the careful aging in oak barrels. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering fruity and spicy nuances. A classic yet modern Chianti, it pairs perfectly both on its own and with a variety of dishes such as pasta, grilled meats, or aged cheeses.
