94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "From the estate's Tenuta San Giovanni Vineyard, this is a blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc aged in oak for 16 months. The Tolaini 2019 Valdisanti is quite generous and rich, with thick layers of dark fruit, black cherry, pencil shaving, tar and licorice. This is a proud and beautiful Tuscan red... Drink: 2022-2030. (Feb 2023)"

94 points James Suckling: "Pretty aromas and flavors of currants, asphalt and bark fill the glass. It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Unfiltered. Drink in 2024 and onwards. (8/8/22)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "A polished red, this offers plum, blackberry, black currant, leather and a hint of wild herb aromas and flavors. Balanced and harmonious, with refined tannins gracing the long, iron-tinged finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2024 through 2040. (12/15/22)"

92 points Falstafff Guide: "Dark, shiny ruby red with slightly brightening edges. The nose has vegetal notes of green bell pepper, blackcurrant and ripe blackberry, with a slightly leathery aftertaste. Fruity on the palate, with fine-meshed tannins, pleasant freshness and juiciness, still needs some ageing. (10/17/22)"

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "A generous, evocative nose of cherries, fennel, orange peel and medicinal herbs sets the stage for a classic palate of cherries, fennel and sambuca flowers grounded in iron-rich soil and wet slate. Tannins that grab hold of the tongue and an unapologetic heat round out this structured, elegant Tuscan red. Alcohol 14.5%. (Mar 2023)"
