98+ points Luca Gardini: "The top-ranking MGA, aged for 30 months in large oak barrels, opens on the nose with notes of blackberry, touches of clementine, and hints of hyssop and rhubarb. The palate is very crisp, with medicinal notes and citrus hints. Convincing persistence. (2026 edition)"
96 points Aldo Fiordelli (JamesSuckling.com): "Intoxicating nose of sweet violets, mint, eucalyptus, balsamic, pomegranates and a touch of leather. Full-bodied and weighty, with fruit concentration, velvety integrated tannins, lifted acidity and a savory, floral finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. (1/11/25)"
95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$78 list] Riddled with cherry, plum, tar, licorice and iron, this red expresses both fresh and developing flavors. While the fruit is vibrant, the woodsy, truffle and tobacco notes also add to the appeal. Shows fine balance and length. Best from 2029 through 2048. 340 cases made, 100 cases imported. (1/21/26)"
94 points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "Vivid deep red. Perfumed aromas of redcurrant, minerals and orange peel. Very lifted but deep in the mouth, with brisk acidity nicely framing the sweet fleshy fruit flavours. The tannins are quite silky and the fruit crisp and pure. An excellent Barolo that closes long fresh and mineral, with repeating hints of orange peel. Drinking window: 2028-2039. (5/9/25)"
