95 points Decanter: "100% Sylvaner. Vanilla, nectarine, herbal and spicy nose. The palate is concentrated with a silky, creamy texture and some reverberating notes of vanilla and spice. It has bright acidity and a long and nuanced finish. Complexity and interest; one sip and you never want to leave. Bravo. Alcohol 14.0%. (DWWA 2022)"
94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Here's a new submission from Cantina Valle Isarco. The 2019 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Sylvaner Sabiona is fully aged in tonneaux. The fruit comes from a two-hectare site at a high 650 meters in elevation with deep alluvial soils and lots or rocks. This 3,000-bottle production shows crisp fruit with papaya and pear, along with some mild spice and crushed stone. This is an elegant and silky wine that promises to evolve with more bottle age. Drink: 2022-2030. (Dec 2022)"
93 points James Suckling: "Complex nose of baked apples, spiced pears, butterscotch, mango pudding and salted butter. Rich, creamy and full-bodied with a buttery texture. So much salted-butter and caramel character. Drink now. (7/5/22)"
91 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright straw yellow with light greenish reflections. Candied grapefruit on the nose, delicate grassy nuances, reminiscent of coconut flakes and mint on the finish. Taut fruit and crisp acidity on the palate, with a fine melting texture, very full but not ponderous, lingers for a long time. (7/9/21)"
