VINOUS 96 POINTS - "The 2021 Barbaresco Ovello Vigna Loreto is powerful and explosive in the glass. A rush of wild red cherry, spice, kirsch, menthol, rose petals and incense races across the palate. Deep, savory and intensely mineral, the 2021 is magnificent. Readers will find a wine of stature and pure breeding. Superb. " - Antonio Galloni
KERIN O'KEEFE 95 POINTS - "Dark spice, botanical herb, dog rose and new leather are some of the aromas you’ll find on the stunning 2021 Ovello from Albino Rocca. Smooth and polished, the savory palate doles out succulent Marasca cherry, star anise and black tea alongside refined tannins. It’s bright and well balanced, with fresh acidity. Drink 2026–2033.

JANCIS ROBINSON 17.5 POINTS (Superior+ in Class) - "Just mid ruby. Spice, saline notes and brooding red fruit on the nose. The longer it sits in the glass, the more perfumed it becomes. Concentrated, aromatic raspberry fruit with succulent acidity while the polished tannins add a firm grip to the finish. Elegance is key, though." - Walter Speller
