93 points James Button (Decanter): "Munjebel ‘Classico’ is a blend of different vineyards on the north slope of Etna, fermented spontaneously with a long, 50-day maceration, then aged in neutral epoxy tanks for 12 months. Due to be bottled this November, this tank sample of the 2022 (first vintage, 2001) shows grippy, earthy black cherry with hints of undergrowth. Intensity of fruit, sturdy tannins and a long finish suggest good longevity in the cellar, and although it's lacking complexity at this early stage, it has plenty of promise for the future. In fact, tasting the 2021 the previous day, the freshness, balance, vibrancy and sapidity were wonderful. Drinking Window: 2024-2034. (Apr 2023)" 93 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The 2022 Munjebel Rosso Classico is made from Nerello Mascalese hailing from different vineyard sites on the northern slopes. It’s fresh and delicious, delivering mouthfuls of succulent red-skinned fruit, cherry tart, baking spice and star anise before closing on a note of blood orange. Chalky tannins provide seamless support and texture. Drink through 2030. (Jun 2024)"
92 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2022 Rosso MunJebel is wickedly spicy and fresh, bursting with a bouquet of crushed raspberries, sage and wet stones. It opens with a lovely inner sweetness, compounded by ripe red berry fruit juiciness as a core of zesty acidity adds an abundance of energy throughout. Tapering off with a resonance of hard candies, it finishes medium-long and clean, leaving behind rosy inner florals and a bitter tinge of clove. The 2022 is dangerously easy to drink. Drink: 2024-2028. (Jun 2024)"
