#2 TOP ITALIAN WINES 2026 - JAMES SUCKLING 100 POINTS - A perfumed and enchanting wine that seduces you with its pure aromas of plums, peaches, cedar, sandalwood and roses. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that caress your palate and give a long and beautiful finish. Extremely silky and polished. Crunchy. A great wine that’s a benchmark for the vintage. One of the best ever. Very drinkable now, but better after 2028."
WINE SPECTATOR 97 POINTS - “Packed with ripe black cherry, blackberry and pomegranate flavors, this red adds grace notes of iron, sweet spices and eucalyptus while firming up on the finish. There’s plenty of fruit, and the tannins are refined, if assertive on the finish today. Best from 2029 through 2048. 670 cases made, 340 cases imported.”
