95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2016 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Grandi Annate is fabulous. Powerful and structured, with tons of intensity, the 2016 delivers the goods. I imagine it will be even better in a few years’ time. Bright Sangiovese red fruit, vibrant acids and lifted floral, cedar and tobacco accents all come alive in the glass. I would prefer to cellar the 2016 for at least a few years to allow the tannins to soften. If opened before that, it needs a number of hours to fully open. Impressive. Drink: 2024-2036. (Apr 2021)"

94 points James Suckling: "Very pretty cherry and berry character with hints of citrus and cedar. It’s medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and a fresh finish. Lovely length. 100% sangiovese. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (7/14/21)"

92 points Falstaff Guide: "Clear, brightening garnet red. Opens with slightly chocolaty notes, plus juicy cherry and raspberry. Shows well-developed fruit in the attack and finish, grippy tannins, hearty and gripping. (Feb 2022)"
