“Isole e Olena” was originally two estates, Isole and Olena, which were joined together as one after the De Marchi family purchased them in the 1960's. The oldest documents from these estates are from Olena, which date back to the 12th century. Isole was already an agriculture farm as early as in the 18th century. This estate is actually the main house when it comes to the production of Isole e Olena.

Written Notes
The reds began with an obscure yet ‘famous’ wine, per Pekka. Batman was on the case with ‘high acidity,’ definitely placing it outside the Bordeaux camp. I got cedar, chocolate and cassis, but who was I to question Batman? The palate definitely wasn’t Bordeaux, Nebbiolo I questioned? In a roundabout way, the wine was a combination of my instincts. There were earthy and chocolaty flavors along with sweet and sour cherry, and a dry, leathery finish. Someone observed ‘bitter dark chocolate,’ and Chianti was my last guess for this 1986 Isole E Olena Collexione di Marche Cabernet Sauvignon. I think it won some major tasting years that Pekka held years ago, but time had passed this wine by now, I guess. It was still good with nice acidity (90).
