WINE SPECTATOR 97 POINTS - "Earthy, meaty aromas and flavors lead off, with submerged notes of cherry and berry fruit. A dense matrix of tannins leaves a drying feel as this winds down on the white pepper–infused aftertaste. Still raw and unevolved, this is nonetheless long. 450 cases made, 180 cases imported."
"Alluring aromas of charcuterie, violet and ripe forest berry mingle with a potpourri of dark spice on the stunning 2021 Ovello from Cantina del Pino. Full-bodied and savory, the palate is bold but also boasts a weightless concentration that envelops raspberry preserve, mature Marasca cherry, vanilla and mocha. Velvety tannins provide support while fresh acidity lifts the finish. " - KERIN O'KEEFE
