98 points Kerin O’Keefe: “Made in high-altitude mountain vineyards, this classy, fragrant Nebbiolo combines structure, depth, elegance and personality. It features enticing scents of pressed rose, Alpine herb, new leather, camphor and wild red red berry while the lithe, delicous palate delivers raspberry compote, cinammon, tobacco and star anise alongside firm but extremely refined tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced and energized while a flinty mineral note lingers on the close. Just gorgeous. Drink through 2043. (Aug 2021)”

95 points Aldo Fiordelli (Decanter): “An extremely complex Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo), with the concentration of a leaner vintage and a vibrant, mineral-laden finish. Slightly garnet around the bright ruby core, this 2013 displays scents of violet, wild strawberry, smoky woodland and liquorice root, with a minty intensity in depth. On the palate one can feel the backbone of acid first, then a fairly green flavour. It shines for its silky tannins and more elegant than powerful character, with raspberry and cherry fruits accompanied by hazelnut and prunes leading to an amazing oxidative finish. (Apr 2021)”
