Bruno Besa | Lively ruby to garnet. Youthful, closed, red-cherry and dried-flowers nose, with intense mineral character. Medium body, with refined, layered tannins. Clean cherries and raspberries nose, with a long, firm, super-clean finish. Needs time, but a refined, impeccably crafted Sangiovese for medium- to long-term aging. | 94

Andrew Jefford | Clear, deep black red. Fresh, lively, enticing fruits, with sweet black cherry to the fore. Lots of straightforward charm here. Deep, rounded, and exuberant, with impressive intensity and wealth of black cherry and damson fruits. Solid backing tannins, muted acidity, untroubled ripeness— straightforward, but lyrically so. | 90

Michael Palij | A decadent and slightly oxidized nose, showing too much development and stewed fruit. There is fig and prune in abundance, with a jammy and alcoholic finish in which the extracted nature of this wine becomes more evident. The tannins are coarse, and the fruit is muted. | 82
