96 points James Suckling: "Beautiful nose of white peaches, mangoes, jasmine, waxed grapefruit, thyme and hints of salted sourdough. Distinct salty, ashy minerality. It’s medium-bodied, vibrant and textured. Stony and crisp, yet creamy and flavorful throughout. Serious Soave. The second vintage from an old-vine selection from the historic, volcanic Monte Foscarino vineyards. Drink now or hold. (5/5/23)"
94 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "Delicately floral and finessed, the 2020 Soave Classico I Palchi Foscarino Grande Cuvée slowly blossoms in the glass. Coaxing adds volume and depth as hints of lemon oil and white smoke give way to flowery underbrush and sweet spice. This washes across the palate with pure elegance, silky and refined, with an attractive sweetness and juicy acidity that perfectly contrasts its mineral-tinged orchard fruits. Pretty inner florals mingle with a twang of lime and liquid rock as the 2020 finishes remarkably long and perfumed; what a beauty. This vintage of Foscarino Grande Cuvée was matured all in thirty-five-hectoliter casks. Drink: 2022-2034. (Mar 2023)"
94 points Falstaff Guide: "Intense straw yellow with a drop of gold. On the nose there are initially salty hints, then generous, toasted oak, hazelnuts and quince, as well as some dried pineapple, and finally reminiscent of white chocolate on the aftertaste. Very creamy on the palate, very fresh and very juicy, shows great balance and lots of tension, light creaminess supports the saltiness, long, balanced and very complex. (10/7/22)"
