Wine Critic Reviews

Raffaele Vecchione - WinesCritic.com (95): Extremely chameleonic in the sensory profile, it alternates a vast array of scents that immediately attract the reader's attention. Rose petals, blooming wisteria, elderberry, magnolias, gardenias, and bergamot animate the main scene. In the background, talc, crumbled stone, and sweet caramel describe the secondary profile. Full-bodied, perfectly mature tannins, and a finish of excellent persistence. Better from 2027.

Vinum Wine Magazine (93): Single vineyard wine from old vines in the Conca d'Oro of Panzano: Seductive stone fruit aromas, also notes of dried roses and herbs; youthful texture, acidity, and tannins in balance, the finish makes you want more. Powerful yet elegant craftsmanship.

Falstaff (95): Dark, intense ruby red. Spicy and hearty aromas of ripe cherry and wild berries, with notes of leather, cayenne pepper, and forest floor. Fresh on the palate with a precise fruit core, tightly woven tannins, and a subtle spiciness on the long finish.
