91 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "Crushed almond and oyster shells give way to apricot and lime zest as the 2021 Catarratto Masso slowly comes to life in the glass. This is deeply textural with suave green melon and citrus tones carried by vibrant acidity as a sweet herbal tinge adds further depth toward the close. It finishes long and potent, balanced by a bump of residual acidity as mint and candied lime nuances fade. This is a fully satisfying and, frankly, delicious Catarratto. Drink: 2023-2027. (Sep 2023)"
91 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Showing the true potential of native grape Catarratto when made with care, this medium-bodied white has aromas of hazelnut, yellow field flower, stone fruit and a whiff recalling scorched earth. Dry and polished, the palate reflects the nose, featuring ripe yellow apple, unsweetened lemon drop and honeyed almond accompanied by bright acidity and tangy mineral notes. (Jan 2023)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Lemons, honey roasted nuts, stones and bike tire appear on the nose, with a whisper of spicy heat that is confirmed on the palate, where more lemons, and now also limes, grapefruit, white peach and nectarine emerge. A dose of acid sneaks up and provides the energy for a lingering finish. (May 2023)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "A lithe and balanced, light- to medium-bodied white, framing ripe Asian pear and nectarine fruit flavors with lightly mouthwatering acidity and hints of elderflower, mineral and honeycomb. Drink now. (11/15/22)"
