Description

Paolo De Marchi’s estate is located on the western grade of the Chianti Classico plateau. The trees are privy to limestone soils and a cooler, windy exposure. He has 2,500 trees. 1,500 are 35 years old and the rest are 150+ years old. Paolo’s is a highly regarded wine maker, his production of Sangiovese is legendary. Cepparello is one of Italy’s greatest wines. However, Paolo regards his olive grove with a special reverence. He harvests in early in October and the olives are pressed into oil immediately after harvest, in less than two hours. Full bodied Tuscan olive oil, flavors of green vegetable, basil and green banana fruit. Full-bodied mouth feel, bitter and spicy notes are moderate. Very rare put this on your bucket list.
