Cepparello 2022
Descrição
O Cepparello representa um marco fundamental na história vitivinícola da Toscana, tendo-se afirmado como um dos «supertoscanos» mais pioneiros e emblemáticos. Elaborado pela célebre casa Isole e Olena, este tinto nasceu com a firme ambição de reivindicar a grandeza e a pureza da casta Sangiovese, desafiando, na sua origem, as rígidas normas da região. Proveniente de uma seleção cuidadosa das parcelas mais ensolaradas sobre solos de galestro, passa por um estágio meticuloso em carvalho francês e em garrafa, o que lhe confere uma sofisticação intemporal. Um autêntico vinho de culto, profundo e equilibrado, concebido para os grandes apaixonados pelo território toscano.

Restrained at the first sniff, this vintage shines with smoky and straw aromas, together with intense violets, bright red cherries and cherry stones. Cedar wood in depth. Full-bodied and extracted, yet full of fruit sweetness, displaying velvety tannins and crisp integrated acidity which enhances and lengthens the cherry flavor. Super polished finish which is not always the case in this vintage. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. (Aldo Fiordelli)
Brilliant ruby colour with a fine garnet shimmer. Opens with notes of tobacco, then lots of cherry, some raspberry, blackberry and milk chocolate. Juicy and clearly defined fruit on the palate, lots of raspberry, opens with fine-knit, polished tannins, spans a wide arc, salty on the finish.
This is my first taste of Isole e Olena's landmark wine now that this historic estate has passed from the ownership of the De Marchi family to France's EPI Group (Société Européenne de Participations Industrielles). The 2022 Cepparello is all Sangiovese from this magnificent property that covers the rolling hills between two tiny hamlets, one named Isole and the other Olena. In between are vineyards on well-draining soils with galestro shale, open vistas and gentle breezes. These conditions contribute to the vibrancy of the fruit and its natural freshness. Winemaking for Cepparello follows a familiar pattern, starting with fermentation in cone-shaped vats and aging in a combination of barrique, tonneaux and botte grande for 18 months. I can't say that this is my favorite vintage of Cepparello, especially when I think back to 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2021. The 2022 offers sweeping flavors and good concentration, but it does not have the same depth or length. With dark cherry, blackcurrant, spice and iris root, this is an elegant wine with an accessible personality that makes it approachable without too much fuss. Production is 50,000 bottles.
The nose is spry and delicate, and less plump and opulent than the high alcohol would suggest, and it exudes ripe cherry fruit. The fine attack leads to a velvety palate, compact and backed by firm acidity. The alcohol is not that evident and the wine finishes with welcome elegance, polish and length of flavour.
