94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Here's a wine that I have not seen in many years. The organic COS 2019 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Contrada della Bastonaca is a blend of 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato. It shows a medium dark appearance with floral aromas of rose, candied lilac, sour cherry and unripe plum. The wine is very fresh and tonic with a pretty mineral theme that adds focus and definition. Drink: 2023-2028. (6/22/23)"
93 points James Suckling: "Extremely perfumed with cherries and flowers as well as cement. Enticing. Medium body with creamy textured tannins that spread across the palate. Lovely length and beauty. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. (9/2/23)"
93 points James Button (Decanter): "This bottling is sourced from the estate's best parcels in the Bastonaca area of Vittoria. It offers up an inviting fragrance of dried and fresh red and black cherries, before diving into a sapid, super-fresh palate displaying wonderful dark cherry, pomegranate and wild strawberry flavours. There's some grip in the background, and a long finish. Wow! Such energy. Drinking Window: 2023-2043. (May 2023)"
92 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2019 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Bastonaca seduces with a gorgeous, rose-tinged bouquet that evokes wild strawberries, cloves and fresh mint. It’s soft-textured and soothing, with vibrant acidity and a core of vividly ripe cherry-berry fruit. This leaves a lovely resonance of red licorice and hints of spice while finishing remarkably fresh. The 2019 is delicious. Drink: 2024-2028. (Sep 2023)"
