96 points Susan Hulme, MW (Decanter): "Falsini's Cabernet Franc is a scintillating example of this variety. The name 'Limite' refers partly to the estate's location at the northern limits of Bolgheri, where the soils have more pebbles and clay. Ripe aromas of blackcurrant leaf, roasted coffee bean and cream come in waves. It has a beautiful texture and weight in the mouth, with juicy blackcurrant accompanied by leafy, crunchy notes and very fine tannins. Quite Loire-influenced, but in a sunnier Tuscan style. Drinking Window: 2021-2028. (Jun 2021)"

95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Emiliano Falsini has made some of the best wines of his career with Cabernet Franc. His organic 2019 Cabernet Franc Limite opens a new chapter and a more personal approach, winemaker to grape variety, that is shaped by dark concentration and beautiful balance. The difference between this higher-priced wine and the more accessible Il Debbio is that this wine only sees oak, whereas the other one sees a combination of oak and amphora. Both wines are made with whole cluster fermentation, something that is becoming a signature house style. Blackberry, black plum and grilled herb bring out the complexity of the bouquet. Production is 2,000 bottles. Drink: 2021-2030. (Oct 2021)"
