94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$30 list] A tiny percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon has been added to this Sangiovese-based wine. The Fattoria le Pupille 2021 Morellino di Scansano Riserva shows an impressive level of fruit clarity with lots of freshness and a tightly knit, medium-plus mouthfeel. This is classic Morellino executed by some of the most talented winemakers on the Tuscan Coast. You get unbelievable value with this bottle. (Feb 2025)"
94 points James Suckling: "This is very linear and tight with a fine and lightly muscular structure that runs the length of the wine and goes on and on. Medium-bodied, fresh and vivid. Firm, structured, cool and long. 90% sangiovese and 10% cabernet sauvignon. Better from 2027. (Aug 2024)"
93 points Wine Enthusiast: "I have high hopes that Morellino will return to center stage performing as the lean, agile, crowd-pleasing version of Sangiovese that it is. If the comeback is successful, it will be in large part thanks to Le Pupille's work polishing this grape's natural talents. (Apr 2025)"
93 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Precise and vibrant in its sensorial profile, it shows notes of cherries, raspberries, currants, wild strawberries, chopped cedar and guaranà. Many medicinal herbs in the background describe the juicy and captivating soul of a young expression that has nothing to envy of denominations known for aging. Full body, well-extracted biting tannins and a highly persistent finish. Better from 2025. (Mar 2024)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "Tomato leaf, eucalyptus and bay laurel notes mingle with plum, blackberry and iron flavors in this dense, beefy red. A beam of acidity drives the salty finish, with a firm grip of tannins. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2038. (Oct 2024)"
92 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright ruby with a dark core. Inviting nose of juicy wild berries, garden herbs and smoky notes, with a hint of iodine on the finish. Dense fruit on the palate, fine-grained tannins, fresh and harmonious through to the lingering finish. (Oct 2024)"
90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Morellino di Scansano Riserva is dark and imposing. A blast of dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice, scorched earth and tobacco adds to the wine’s virile personality. I would prefer to drink this somber Riserva over the coming few years. Drink 2024-2028 (Dec 2024)"
