94 Points - Antonio Galloni:
"The 2007 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi bursts from the glass with red berries, sweet spices, roses and mint, all of which come together on a powerful, richly structured frame that is the hallmark of Barbarechi from Neive. The Starderi is the most tannic of the estate's 2007s but it is a wine with significant promise and a long road ahead of very fine drinking." (Dec 2010)

The Starderi is the most tannic of the estate’s 2007s but it is a wine with significant promise and a long road ahead of very fine drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027." - Monica Larner (31st Aug 2018)

93 Points - James Suckling:
"Loads of juicy fruit on the nose, with raspberries, spices, and hints of mulberries and plums. Full bodied and round, with soft tannins and a dried berry flavor. This is decadent and fascinating." - (Mar 2011)

93 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"A big-boned Barbaresco, this is a bit gangly at first, settling into raspberry, cherry, floral and a hint of tar flavors. Muscular and tannic, contradicting the notion that Barbaresco is lighter than Barolo. Fine length and ripe tannins. Best from 2013 through 2026. 580 cases made." -BS (Apr 2012)
