96 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Now a Gran Selezione Radda, the Istine 2021 Casanuova dell’Aia is superb. Made with grapes grown 500m above sea level, vinified spontaneously with native yeasts and aged in large casks, it has great structure and is more restrained than the Vigna Carvachione. It boasts flavors of juicy black cherry, juniper berry and dark spice framed in taut, refined tannins. It’s still young and will benefit with several more years laying down in the cellar. Drink 2026–2041. (Oct 2023)"
96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Casanova dell'Aia is a picture-perfect example of Radda. Sage, mint, white pepper, crushed rocks, mint and dried herbs give the 2021 its intensely floral/savory/mineral style. Readers will find a Gran Selezione endowed with tons of tension and pure mineral drive. This has really come along since I tasted it last year. Drink 2025-2036 (Jul 2024)"
