About this winery

The name “Isole e Olena” was conceived in the 1950’s when two adjoining estates, “Isole” and “Olena” were purchased by the De Marchi family and were combined to form one. They are located at an altitude of 400 m above sea level and receives an average of 900mm of rainfall annually. The soil is a mixture of limestone, clay slates and sandstone, which allows sufficient drainage in times of heavy rains and the retention of moisture in times of drought.

Monica Larner, October 2018 (Vintage 2016)

The Isole e Olena 2016 Chardonnay Collezione Privata is a solid and tight expression that should hold steady over the course of the next decade. The bouquet is redolent of apricot, tropical fruit, honey and toasted pine nut. You are also treated to a pure note of flinty minerality that always comes through in this wine. This Chardonnay requires a few extra years of bottle aging before it reaches its optimal drinking phase. (...)

Antonio Galloni, August 2019 (Vintage 2017)

The 2017 Chardonnay is rich, unctuous and creamy, with all of the intensity of the vintage on display. Dried flowers, marzipan, lemon confit and pastry give the 2017 much of its extroverted, rich personality. Tropical notes develop later, adding an exotic flair. Dehydration on the vine and tiny juice yields produced an unusually lush, flamboyant Chardonnay.
