95 points/'Highly Recommended,' Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$70 list] Intense, with complex flavors of cherry, blackberry, violet, mineral and leafy underbrush, this red is silky and verges on racy. Harmonious and persistent, with a long, resonant aftertaste that echoes red fruit, mineral and savory elements. Best from 2025 through 2045. (10/31/23)"
95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia shows beautiful minerality with dusty notes of crushed limestone or flint. This is the wine's special signature, and it shines through in a warm vintage such as this. Rancia also offers an upfront quality of red and purple fruit tones. The 2020 vintage displays pretty concentration and richness with wild cherry and plum, but ultimately the wine leaves you with that elegant mineral sendoff. Rancia will require extra bottle age. Drink: 2024-2040. (5/31/23)"
95 points James Suckling: "A polished and very refined Rancia with sweet berries, cedar and hints of chocolate. Medium body. Fresh and focused. A little reserved at the end. It needs two or three years to come around. Best in 2025. (8/7/23)"
94 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright ruby red colour. On the nose fragrant with beautiful old wood, light coconut flakes, ripe cherries, cranberries and cold smoke. Compact on the palate with tightly woven tannins, plus nicely saline, opens on warm fruit in the finish, carried into a sturdy long finish. (11/3/23)"
