• Score: 92 Vintage 2020 James Suckling Notes of cherries, olives, oranges and peach pits here, with some vanilla. It’s lively and balanced, with a medium body, nicely polished tannins and a long, firm yet supple finish. Drink or hold. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 90 Vintage 2020 Vinous Media The 2020 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silìneo opens with a flourish of white pepper, cracked chalk and dried blueberries. It's silky and plush with tart wild berry fruits that add tension throughout. A saline mineral core maintains a savory character. Wild herbs and liquid stone define the finish, as the 2020 tapers off lightly structured and with medium length. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 91 Vintage 2019 James Suckling Ripe berry and cherry aromas with some vanilla undertones. It’s full and juicy with a big palate and a creamy finish. Layered, if a little old-school. Drink or hold. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 90 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The bouquet on the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silìneo opens like you're chiseling into an ashen stone to find a mix of black currants and exotic curries. It’s soft-textured, more lifted and finessed than expected, with juicy blackberry fruits offset by sour citrus and savory herbal tones. Grippy tannins linger under an air of violets and lavender as the 2019 finishes structured, yet not severely so. Silìneo is primarily Sangiovese with a bit of Merlot and Corolino. It spends seven months refining in tonneaux, followed by another eleven months in large Slavonian oak casks. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 90 Vintage 2018 Vinous Media The 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Silineo takes some time to open up in the glass, dusty and floral, yet beneath, I’m finding musky blackberries and hints of cedary spice. Its textures are silky-smooth and pliant, contrasted by floral-tinged tart berries and a flourish of sour citrus that keeps the expressions lively. A hint of wild herbs and a gentle grip of tannin lingers. The Silineo is primarily Sangiovese, with a bit of Merlot and Corolino that spends seven months refining in tonneaux, followed by another eleven months in large Slavonian oak casks.

• Score: 87 Vintage 2017 Wine Enthusiast French oak, menthol and rose aromas slowly form in the glass. On the rather lean, austere palate, vanilla, espresso and candied notes accent a dried cherry core while close-grained tannins leave a dusty, drying finish. Drink through 2025.
