Überzeugend ist Paolo De Marchis hell rubinroter Chianti Classico '07 mit zartem Duft nach Kirschen und anderen Früchten, dem schlanken Körper, einer angemessenen Säure und herzhaftem Abgang. (superiore.de)

"The 2000 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is another winner. Made in a rich, viscous style, it evokes roasted nuts, baking spices, dried figs, cloves and roasted coffee beans with the slightly oxidative notes that are typical of this wine." Robert Parker
"Diese rein aus Sangiovese gekelterte Kreszenz zählt zu jenen Wegbereitern, die das Chianti, nachdem es sich in den Siebzigerjahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts im Tal der Finsternis verloren hatte, wieder ins Rampenlicht rückten." Gambero Rosso 2009
"The estate-s top bottling, the 2005 Cepparello, is another strong effort. Classy and elegant, it possesses well-delineated vibrant dark red fruit intermingled with toasted oak and minerals. It remains quite fresh and will require a few years of bottle age to develop its full range of aromas and flavors." Robert Parker
Der Klassiker aus dem Hause Isole e Olena. Große Eleganz, Komplexität und Dichte, edler Stoff, dabei sehr zugänglich. Kurz: Einer der besten reinsortigen Sangiovese, den wir kennen! (superiore.de)
"Isole e Olena’s 2006 Cepparello (100% Sangiovese) reveals superb density and richness in a surprisingly medium-bodied style for this vintage. Candied red fruit, flowers, menthol and sweet herbs emerge from the glass with almost liqueur-like sweetness. The wine possesses outstanding balance and a long, sweet finish, with subtle notes of tar, licorice and herbs that make an appearance on the close. This is an elegant Cepparello that combines the ripeness of the vintage in a mid-weight, ethereal style." Robert Parker

"The 2001 Cabernet De Marchi Collection is even more impressive, lovely in its focused and layered expression of blackberry fruit, vanilla, and minerals, savory in flavor, velvety in texture, and with the size and weight of a fine Medoc." Robert Parker
