(Isole e Olena Cepparello, Barberino Val d’Elsa, Tuscany) Paolo de Marchi is someone all sommeliers need to thank. When everybody else was thinking that Cabernet and other international varietals were the answer to filling out IGT Toscana wines, de Marchi, along with a few other introspective winemakers like Sergio Manetti, looked at how the vineyards were planted and changed the way we drink Sangiovese today. In the mid-’80s, de Marchi started planting the right clones of Sangiovese at the right density, and the 2004 Cepparello is the culmination of his hard work. A full-bodied and serious Toscana red, without the marking of foreign varietals, it tastes like a great Sangiovese should, with a balanced snap of natural acidity riding in a carriage of exceptional density. Top class. Hot Picks

Cork. 14% abv.
Decanted 2 hours. Fine sediment.
Dark core with clear mid-red rim. No bricking. Looks and smells youthful. Dark cherry, smoke, earth, leather. Medium to full bodied. Medium acid. Tomato leaf, tart (almost green) mouthfeel. Slightly grippy but fine tannins. Food friendly. Belies its age.

At Boston Wine & Poker, Needham, Mass.: Tasted blind. From a magnum, generously provided by Karl W. Mushroom. Seaweed. A bit of rubber. Some sweetness. Slightly musty.

Slow-O three hours, drank over the following two hours; definitely improved with air. While this may indeed last for many more years, I chose to open my last of five with good friends, and because while I like the idea of this being all tertiary, I still very much enjoy some of the primary (which this bottle had a little of). Med+ body, spicy, earthy, forest notes, red>dark red fruits, long and broad at the 90 minute mark. Grazie, Paolo e Marta. 14,0% abv. highly recommended
