93 points Decanter: "The 35% of Pugnitello - a thick-skinned grape planted in Alberese chalky soil - gives this vintage a bracing character, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot bring structure and suppleness. Clove and black pepper dominate the nose with cassis aromas and flavours enhanced by graphite minerality. Full and dense, this Vigorello flows... velvety and refreshing. In the context of the lean 2018 vintage, this has great concentration with ability to age. 'A surprising wine, it is recomposing itself in bottle' said Leonardo Bellaccini, winemaker and production manager for San Felice. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040 (Jul 2021)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Vigorello is a blend of Pugnitello, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. Ripe, racy and exuberant, the 2018 is laced with super-ripe red cherry, kirsch, mint, rose petal, blood orange and a kiss of new French oak. All the elements are nicely balanced. Even so, I would give the 2018 at least a year or two to come together. Drink 2023-2032 (Jul 2022)."
93 points James Suckling: "Very attractive blackberries and currants with hints of chocolate and fresh herbs, such as lemon grass. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Will age nicely, but why wait? (8/4/21)"
