- Score: 88 Vintage 2022 Wine Spectator Distinctive and aromatic, with game, incense, clove, wild herb and iron notes interwoven with mulled cherry and plum sauce flavors, plus chalky tannins. An initial touch of spritz has an up-front, animating quality that works in tandem with the juicy acidity, but it quickly blows off in the glass. Drink now through 2027. 1,800 cases made, 240 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 89 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Cesanese del Piglio Colle Ticchio is intense, with a sharp burst of crushed plums, dried citrus and wet stone. This is racy with a reverberation of zesty acidic tension and tart wild berry fruits that cascade throughout. The Colle Ticchio finishes grippy, long and energetic, ending with a crunchy sensation.

- Score: 89 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media A bouquet of violets, plum skins and wet stone wafts up from the 2019 Cesanese Colle Ticchio. It’s soft and pliant in feel, yet a mix of saline-minerality and brisk acidity creates a salty reverberation on the palate, as notes of blackberry and inner florals form toward the close. This tapers off with medium length while buzzing with residual tension, and a hint of licorice slowly fades. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 89 Vintage 2017 Wine Enthusiast Aromas of red berry, cooking spice and underbrush emerge from the glass. The savory palate offers ripe raspberry, clove and white pepper alongside pliant tannins and fresh acidity. Enjoy soon. KERIN O’KEEFE Shelf Talker Full Page Review
