95 points Decanter: "Fattoria Selvapiana, one of the area’s top producers, designated their 5ha Vigna Erchi, a site that has more iron in the soil compared to their iconic Bucerchiale vineyard. Owner Federico Giuntini thinks the difference in terroir explains why Vigna Erchi produces a bolder wine. Extraordinary elegance and a silky suaveness complement the bold dark fruit character. Though aged in French barriques for 18 months, there’s not a hint of oakiness on the palate; you just feel its influence. A classic example of muscle and refinement, the wine delivers enlivening freshness and great length. The tannins remain polished and unobtrusive even after holding the wine in the mouth. It’s a youthful wine, to be sure, but its impeccable balance predicts a long life and glorious evolution. Drinking window 2025-2035 (Oct (2022)"

93 points James Suckling: "Purity to the cherries and crushed stones in the nose. Medium to full body, racy tannins and a minerally, crunchy finish. Pretty structure, if a little austere now. Better in 2024. (Jul 2022)"
