93 points/'#3 Top 100 Value Wines of 2025' Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$30 list] This red is sleek and engaging, offering cherry, raspberry, blackberry and mineral aromas and flavors. Harmonious, with beautifully integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and detailed. Sangiovese and Merlot. Drink now through 2038. (9/30/25)"
91 points James Suckling: "A solid, balanced and intense Chianti Classico with aromas of sweet cherries, raspberries and sweet spices. It’s full-bodied with fine tannins. Solid core of red berries at the center, with a refined texture and an intense development in the finish. Drink or hold. (7/22/24)"
91 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Pouring a youthful ruby color, the 2022 Chianti Classico is a departure from the focus of this report, with these wines coming from Castelnuovo Berardenga. The nose is supple and inviting with aromas of candied berries, crushed flowers, and sweet herbs. It moves seamlessly to the palate with refined tannins and an elegant lift of fresh acidity to close it out. It’s a highly appealing red to drink over the next 5-7 years. (Oct 2025)"
91 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Rich and elegant on the palate, it displays notes of plums, hyacinth, agapanthus, lilac, wisteria, magnolia and gardenia flowers. Medium-full bodied, with very soft, well-extracted tannins and a warm, lingering finish. Best from 2025. (Feb 2024)"
