Product Notes

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico is an exquisite Italian wine, of an alluring ruby red hue. Originating from the heart of Tuscany, it's an expressive blend predominantly of Sangiovese, with hints of Canaiolo and Syrah. Its aroma pleasantly intrigues with notes of red cherry, plum, herbs, and a dash of espresso. On the palate, it bursts with vivacious fruit flavours, finely interlaced with soft, silky tannins and balanced acidity, making it exceedingly versatile with dishes. The lingering finish is delicately laced with a subtle oak undertone. This elegant, mid-weight wine captures the essence of Chianti Classico in a sophisticated melody of flavours.
