Elegant, delicate Chianti Classico and one of the best of its appellation every year: light red colour, aromas of strawberry and elderberry, fresh fruit on the palate, beautifully juicy and balanced, enormously supple in the finish. Possesses polish, elegance and, despite its visually high price, a very good value. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant, rich ruby red colour. Clear, inviting nose, opens with redcurrants and ripe blackberries, followed by orange peel with eucalyptus. Juicy and round on the palate, supple, fine-meshed tannins, slightly salty, stimulating to drink, elegant, medium finish." Falstaff

"Brilliant medium to deep ruby red colour. Initially spicy and mineral on the nose, with a shy, brooding fruit underneath. Juicy, tangy cherry fruit in abundance on the palate. Great depth and fantastic, enveloping, almost smooth tannins. Lively." Jancis Robinson

"The Chianti Classico 2021 impresses with its light colour and medium-bodied structure. It has a remarkable textural depth and supportive structure. This is a very beautiful and expressive wine. Dried herbs, mint, spices and crushed red berry fruit are beautifully characterised. Bright acids and floral nuances round out the whole." Vinous

"Complex, balanced and smooth in texture, this red wine has aromas and flavours of cherries, strawberries, rosehips, iron and almonds. Refined, with a lively acidity that defines the delicious finish." Wine Spectator

"Gradually, it reveals characteristic nuances of brushwood, redcurrants, rosehips, strawberries and pepper. On the palate, it is juicy and light-footed, concentrated and with pure and persistent red berry flavours. Taut, integrated tannins provide definition and it finishes with garden-fresh herbs." Decanter

"The Isole e Olena 2021 Chianti Classico is a gently structured and charming wine that is impeccably closed and balanced. It offers excellent value at this price. This wine is packed with bright fruits, wild cherries and blue flowers. It finishes with a touch of refreshing acidity befitting Sangiovese." Wine Advocate

"Super-spicy Chianti that's all about liquorice root, restrained black cherries, fresh violets and fleshy notes. It seems to be a serious effort, with graphite flavours joined by firm, chalky and chewy tannins, crisp acidity and a super-polished finish." James Suckling
