Ratings & Reviews

95 Points & #21 Top 100 of '25 - Wine Spectator:
"There's bright cherry and strawberry fruit in this elegant red, along with rose, mineral and wild herb notes, plus a hint of black pepper. Harmonious and vibrant, this is fluid while cruising to the long, detailed aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2043. 2,500 cases imported." - BS (Jun 2025)

93 Points - James Suckling:
"A fine and subtle Brunello with cherries, candied watermelon, flowers and some orange peel. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a bright finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now." (Jul 2024)

92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a transparent bright red color and is ripe with aromas of strawberry preserve, candied flowers, sweet herbs, and mossy earth. Medium-framed, it’s vibrant on the palate, with a linear feel, fine tannins, and bright acidity, leading with notes of orange citrus through a rather long finish and a touch of warmth. It retains good purity and energy and is very well-balanced. Drink 2026-2040." (Jan 2025)

91 Points - Vinous Media:
"Woodland herbs and earth tones come together with dried black cherries as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino opens in the glass. This splashes across the palate with ease, lifted and energetic, with wild berry fruits and perfumed inner florals riding a wave of brisk acidity. It leaves a pleasantly bitter tinge and hints of spice, tapering off with medium length and a sour cherry concentration. (Drink between 2026-2032)." - Eric Guido (Feb 2025)
