Notes:
The wine is named after a small stream, Borro Cepparello, originating in the highest point of the vineyards on the Isole e Olena estate. This is truly a Super Tuscan Wine, showing the great heights that Sangiovese can reach when made with care and attention.
Cepparello is a full-bodied wine with a deep purple colour. Though rich in tannins, it is soft and round on the palate. The wine shows great complexity and a youthful fruitiness.
Rated: 95 points by Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Light, deep red. Knockout nose of floral red berries, red cherry syrup, coffee and minerals. Then suave, silky and plump, with harmonious acidity giving life and definition to the raspberry, plum and delicate licorice flavors. Features wonderful sweetness and pliancy, and finishes subtle and sophisticated, with a light coffee note."
