KERIN O'KEEFE 95 POINTS - "Enticing aromas of violet, baking spice, forest berry, almond and a whiff of pipe tobacco take shape on the fabulous 2020 Ducale Oro Riserva Gran Selezione. Made with 80% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and other grapes and aged for one year in concrete tanks, one year in seasoned barriques and one year in large Slavonian casks, it's velvety and delicious, doling out succulent red cherry, strawberry compote, licorice, graphite, and mocha alongside supple tannins. Drink 2026–2032. Abv: 14% Kerin O'Keefe October 2024 ©kerinokeefe.com"
WINE SPECTATOR 94 POINTS - "This is broad and evokes plum, cherry, earth and iron aromas and flavors, picking up a salty taste while evolving on the palate. Supple in texture and nicely balanced, this is driven by lively acidity, with a light grip of tannins on the extensive finish. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2042. 22,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported."
