92 point Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Precise and essential in the sensory profile, it shows notes of cherries,
raspberries, currants, lemon peel and ginger. Medium body, tannins of excellent
workmanship and a composed and essential finish of sure composed
brilliance. Drink now."
91 points James Suckling: "Ripe cherries and strawberries with hints of chocolate nibs and spices on the nose. Dried flowers, too. Medium-bodied with tense, juicy acidity and dusty tannins. Smooth and textured. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold. (Jun 2024)"
90 points Michaela Morris (Decanter): "This modestly sized, 11-hectare estate is located in the upper slopes of eastern Castellina abutting the township of Radda. Produced since 1998, the flagship annata bottling ages partially in 500-litre French oak barrels, with the remainder in concrete. It comes progressively into focus with hints of mint and vanilla framing brambly berries. The palate boasts purity and juiciness, with a buoyant core of fleshy red cherry. A sophisticated, powdery texture holds everything in place, and there's a kick of rooibos tea on the finish. Drink 2024-2028 (Feb 2024)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "Packed with juicy cherry and raspberry flavors, this spirited, supple red offers accents of iron and underbrush before firming up nicely on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2030. (Oct 2024)"
