93 points Ian d'Agata (Terroir Sense): "Light golden-tinged straw colour. Pungent pear skin and peach pit aromas are complicated by hints of sweet spices and vanilla. Picks up more spice and floral qualities with air, along with an herbal nuance and a touch of honey. Ripe but pure orchard fruit flavors boast impressive energy and finish long with very good clarity. 100% Carricante from the easter slope of Etna (Sant’Alfio area), vinified in stainless steel and aged in 700 liters oak tonneaux. Only 12.5% alcohol and lots of flavour. Drinking window: 2025-2030. (Apr 2024)"
92 points James Suckling: "Lemon and lime with mineral and spiced pear character. Medium body. Creamy texture and attractive fruit. It’s focused and delicious. Hints of baking spices and fruit at the end. Drink or hold. (Oct 2023)"
