Cepparello is a revolution in a bottle—a Super Tuscan that helped define the category.
The Soul of Sangiovese
When Paolo De Marchi first crafted this 100% Sangiovese in the 1980s, he defied the rules of Chianti Classico. Instead, he trusted in the purity of his fruit and the soul of Sangiovese itself. The 2019 vintage is a masterclass in grace and power. It opens with a symphony of red cherry, blood orange, and dried violet. On the palate, it’s seamless and layered with fruit, spice, and fine leather, stitched together by polished tannins and an acidity that sings.
Cepparello is made from only the finest fruit across De Marchi’s high-altitude estate. It is a wine that speaks clearly of its place: the sun-soaked, schist-rich slopes of Chianti’s highlands.
How to Enjoy
This is Tuscany at its most elegant. Decant for at least an hour and pair with classic Tuscan fare like Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or aged pecorino.
