97 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Winemaker Francesco Mulinari makes stunning wines year in year out, and his L’Aietta 2021 Brunello entices with its beautiful fragrance of violet, ripe dark-skinned berry, new leather, eucalyptus and fine tobacco blend. Brimming with finesse, the palate offers ripe wild cherry, crushed raspberry, star anise and spiced orange peel. Taut, fine-grained tannins provide support while bright acidity keeps it vibrant and balanced. Drink 2031–2041. (Nov 2025)"

96 points Michaela Morris (Decanter): "In two neighbouring rudimentary shacks, Francesco Mulinari crafts an eclectic but fascinating range of wines. The Brunello takes its backbone from a 0.5-hectare vineyard near Castelnuovo dell'Abate, supplemented by lots from Mulinari’s original bush vine site on Montalcino’s western flank. Opening slowly, the nose reveals heady scents of cinnamon stick, crushed raspberry, cherry skin, plum blossom and lemon balm. Slim in build and linear in focus, it exemplifies depth without weight. Just-ripe, al dente tannins tug with a fine, tactile grain. Tart, crunchy red berries are nestled at core. Zesty acidity recalls fresh squeezed pink grapefruit. The finish is driven by stony minerals. What fabulous tension! Drinking window 2028-2041 (Nov 2025)"
