93 points Decanter: "Fabio Sireci's organic estate in central Sicily produces this high-elevation Nero d'Avola, proof of the quality potential for a native grape that is often undervalued. Lagnusa means 'lazy,' a reference to the slow-ripening, low-yielding old vines. Firm yet fresh, it offers ripe tannins, Mediterranean-inflected blackberry fruit and notes of aromatic woodsmoke, with lavender and Darjeeling tea. There's no jaminess here, just ripe fruit and layers of complexity. Drink: 2025-2030. (Oct 2025)"
91 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2022 Nero d'Avola Lagnusa is perfumed with a fresh mix of wild berries and spices accentuated by hints of blood orange. It's soft-textured and lifted in feel with vibrant acidity and crisp wild berry fruit. The 2022 finishes energetic and pleasantly tart, puckering the cheeks while keeping the mouth watering for more. Drink: 2024-2027. (Jun 2024)"
90 points & '#44 Top 100 Wines of 2024' Wine Spectator: "Fragrant hints of white peach and bay leaf on the nose lead to a brambly mix of juicy raspberry, strawberry and mulberry fruit in this expressive and well-spiced red, with light, buoyant tannins and notes of wild sage and flowers on the finish. Drink now through 2027. (11/15/24)"
