95 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "[$93 list] The 2022 Frappato Bombolieri (Bb) is dark and dusty, with a whiff of ashen stones and flowery underbrush elevating its crushed blackberry fruit. Elegance and silky smoothness define the palate, where a tension-building blend of tart wild berries, brisk acidity and a hint of rosemary emerge toward the close. A twang of tropical citrus and saline concentration linger as this finishes with a gentle tannic tug and cascade of inner florals. The Bombolieri hails from limestone-rich soils that lend an amazing vertical feel to the experience. Drink: 2026-2034. (Jul 2025)"

95 points James Button (Decanter): "Bombieri, from ‘younger vines’ of around 25 years old, has a smoky dark berry and cherry character that exudes intensity and concentration. Vertical and ferrous, it's almost austere in its firmness of fruit and tannic structure, but with a core of coiled energy waiting to escape. A lovely, and rather unique, expression of Frappato which needs a bit of time to show what it's made of. Drinking Window: 2026-2033. (5/8/25)"
