Origins
Two villages,
a story that continues
In the 1950s what we know today as Isole and Olena were actually two separate villages in the heart of Chianti Classico, barely a kilometer apart, where sharecropping was still practiced. At that time there were about 130 people living in the two villages, a self-sufficient community that worked the land for promiscuous production, including wine to be consumed or sold to merchants in the area.
Method
Craftsmanship as a way of being and acting
Hand-tied ribbons on the best vines, dynamic approach to the vineyard, winemaking techniques, restoration of terracing. Isole and Olena has traversed history through its artisanal approach. In a continuous dialogue with nature and with a human idea of terroir, the winery has always looked far ahead, for itself and for others, anticipating the times.
