90 points Vinous"The 2020 Valpolicella Classico Superiore La Roverina is spicy and floral, with a whiff of sour tangerine that leads to notes of white pepper, blackberries and violet. This comes across as rich but also incredibly juicy, cascading...

95 points James Suckling"Very attractive blueberry and black-cherry aromas with some tarragon undertones. It's full-bodied with chewy tannins that show layers and polish. Needs more time to come together. Try after 2023, but very attractive now." Vinous...

96 points Wine Enthusiast"Mocha, blue flower, menthol and forest berry aromas lift out of the glass. Firmly structured but elegant, the linear palate exhibits pomegranate, wild strawberry, star anise and white pepper alongside a backbone of fine-grained...

95 points Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateFruit for this wine comes from a 1.2-hectare site with classic calcareous soils. The 2018 Barolo Brunate is very different from the other two wines in this portfolio. Brunate shows a higher level of intensity and...

93+ points Vinous"The 2018 Chianti Classico is a wine of magnificent purity and class. Lavender, sage, tobacco and cedar open first, leading to a core of dark red/purplish fruit. Savory and earthy, with terrific persistence, the 2018 has so much going on...

Jancis Robinson"As with the 2019 Skitali, the extra year in bottle has really added complexity here. Rich, ripe aroma of stone fruit. Big, lees-textured wine. A very distinctive style of Santorini. Chewy, deep and long. Big, big wine. 17.5/20 points...

Jancis Robinson"Fermented in stainless steel by indigenous yeast and with pumpovers the main extraction technique. The wine stays for three weeks on the skins, which is the entire time of the alcoholic fermentation, followed by 15 days of settling. Once...
