93 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2019 Rosso San Nicolo' is darkly floral and savory in the glass, mixing cherry and plum sauce with dried violets and a hint of cedar spice box. This washes across the palate effortlessly, more like juice than wine, pleasing with its interplay of ripe red fruits and sour citrus tones that create a push and pull of tension. The San Nicolo lingers long while keeping the energy high, with round tannins that frame the expression and a lasting note of licorice that seems to carry on for up to a minute. This is a blend of 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio. Drink: 2022-2027. (Jun 2022)"

93 points James Suckling: "Aromas of fresh mint, baked cherry and eucalyptus. Medium-bodied with silky tannins. Rather complex. An array of savory ground spice colors the blue and red berry-fruited palate. There is balance between the two. Best from 2024. (8/17/22)"
