The De Marchi family purchase Isole e Olena, two farms in the heart of Chianti, in the 50s, and Paolo De Marchi took command immediately after graduating in agriculture. The main purpose of Paolo, who has also gained a solid experience in California, has always been to create the highest quality wines, which were the expression of the territory and of the great winemaking traditions of Tuscany. The main attention is focused, therefore, on the traditional wines of the Tuscan: Vin Santo, Chianti Classico and “Cepparello”, a Sangiovese with great personality. However, next to the traditional Tuscan production, it also follows a line of innovative wines: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, all grouped under the name of De Marchi Collection. The quality of the wines that come from this beautiful Tuscan reality, it's definitely very high. The numerous national and international awards confirm the great work done in the vineyard and in the cellar.

"La storia di Isole e Olena è la storia di Paolo De Marchi, che dal 1976 in poi ha speso una vita per far conoscere la terra chiantigiana. A distanza di oltre cinquant'anni, da realtà sconosciuta gestita a mezzadria, l'azienda è ormai diventata una delle firme toscane e italiane più conosciute al mondo"
