Isole e Olena is one of Tuscany’s most celebrated estates, located in the western reaches of Chianti Classico near Barberino Val d’Elsa. Established through the union of two adjoining properties, the estate spans approximately 290 hectares, with 53 hectares dedicated to vineyards planted to traditional Tuscan varieties alongside international grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay. Long recognized for its role in elevating the reputation of Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena is particularly renowned for its Sangiovese-based wines, which combine the region’s characteristic structure and depth with remarkable elegance and precision. Situated at approximately 400 metres above sea level, the estate benefits from a cooler climate, maritime breezes and significant day-to-night temperature variations that help preserve freshness and aromatic complexity, even in warmer vintages. Alongside its flagship Chianti Classico, the estate produces distinctive expressions of Tuscany, including the legendary Cepparello, reflecting a philosophy that balances tradition, terroir and a commitment to exceptional quality.
