“The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, which marks the winery’s 100th anniversary, mixes masses of dried black cherries with dusty cedar spice box, an air of tobacco, worn leather and mint. It is seamless in feel, with silken depths of ripe red berry fruits as crisp mineral tones and hints of citrus build tension toward the close. Staining, chewy and long, the 2020 reveals its heroic structure as nuances of blood orange create a lovely punctuation under an air of rosy inner florals. Quite backward today, it will pay dividends in the cellar.”  By Eric Guido on November 2025

“The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is darkly inward in its youthful state, brooding and tense with tobacco, minty herbs, cedary spice, plum and nuances of black cherry. Soft textures wash across the energetic palate as mineral-inflected red berry fruits saturate. Structured and incredibly long, the 2021 leaves the cheeks puckering amidst fine-grained tannins and a contrasting accent of sour citrus.”

“A total seductress, the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva opens with a burst of sweet spices, tobacco, rubbed sage and crushed black cherries. This is fruit-focused and rich in style, yet still quite energetic. Velvety textures and masses of ripe wild berries swirl throughout. Despite the warmth of the vintage, the 2007 shines through its fresh acidity, leaving a tinge of minerality and framework of adolescent tannins that linger on. This is in a lovely place today with no fear of decline. The 2007 is a showboat.” -Eric Guido, Vinous, Oct. 2024

“This wine shows a touch of skin contact, with its pale pink color. Not wanting to be run of the mill, this wine is all mineral and salty, with a cheeky cherry note that’s not afraid to stand out. The finish is where this wine really struts its stuff, popping off like a firecracker. Fresh, daring, and totally irresistible.” — Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 2024

“The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella is darkly alluring, with a whiff of minty herbs and crushed violets that pull the taster close as notes of blackberry and clove slowly evolve. It’s pleasantly sweet within, with lifted textures and cooling acidity, as a saturation of tart cherry adds chewy tension toward the close. This finishes long yet fresh with a dark chocolate resonance and a hint of spice. The balance here is outstanding as the 2018 falls into the riper category of Amarone but does so with style.” -Eric Guido, Vinous, Sept. 2025

“The 2021 Valpolicella Superiore Profasio lifts from the glass with a fresh blend of violets, lavender and stone dust, giving way to crushed blackberries. It opens with balanced inner sweetness contrasted by tart red berry fruits and sour citrus tones. This 2021 finishes long and staining yet remains fresh, with a subtle coating of fine tannins that frame the experience well.” -Eric Gudio, Vinous, Sept. 2025

“The 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella Conte Gastone opens with a slightly muddled mix of black cherries and minty herbs. It is juicy in style with soft textures and depths of balsamic-tinged wildberry fruits that add a tart tension toward the close. A bitter twang of clove mingles with edgy tannins as hints of sour citrus add freshness through the long, staining finish.” -Eric Gudio, Vinous, Sept. 2025

“A really classy Rosso di Montalcino from one of Montalcino’s top producers, this is full of juicy orange-edged red fruits, with iodine and saline notes ringing on the long finish. Delightful.” – James Button, Decanter, Sept. 2025
