94+ points Eric Guido (Vinous): "]$73 list] Decidedly savory, the 2023 Bianco Santa Margherita 23 opens in the glass with shavings of raw ginger, dusty dried flowers and a hint of citrusy spice. It is round in feel, with a pulse of saline minerality up front that beautifully contrasts its ripe orchard fruits. Perfumed and exceptionally long, the 2023 finishes with lovely tension, leaving a tinge of young kiwi that fades slowly. The calcareous soils of Santa Margherita ring true in this elegant Grillo. Drink: 2025-2032. (Jul 2025)"

92 points James Button (Decanter): "This Grillo, from a single contrada – Santa Margerita in Chiaramonte Gulfi at 500 metres above sea level – exudes energy and brightness, with a delicious spine of salinity supporting baked apple, apricot skin and wild herbs. The grapes spent 20 hours on the skins and were partly vinified and partly aged in big barrels. Drinking Window: 2025-2029. (May 2025)"

92 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Grillo from Contrada Santa Margherita, grown on sandy and calcareous soils. Mineral and complex profile, taut, dynamic, and juicy on the palate. Great substance and character. (Jul 2025)"
