- Score: 90 Vintage 2022 James Suckling Savory and fresh red with notes of mushrooms, white pepper and red berry fruit. Clean, medium-bodied and gently grippy. Drink now or try in 2024. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 89 Vintage 2022 Vinous Media The 2022 Rosso di Montepulciano is impossible to ignore, with a sweetly scented bouquet of violets, lavender, allspice and wild blueberries. This is soft and supple with ripe wild berry fruits and juicy acidity. It leaves a coating of gentle tannins and a blackberry flourish, tapering off mildly spicy and with medium length.

- Score: 89 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media Like opening a fresh pack of violet candies, the 2021 Rosso di Montepulciano opens in the glass dusty and tinged with blue and purple floral perfumes. It washes across the palate, silky and pliant, with ripe wild berries and inner lavender tones. The finish is lightly tannic yet fresh, with a lingering candied blackberry note.

- Score: 90 Vintage 2020 James Suckling A pretty nose of blackberries, red plums, herbs with currant-leaf and some licorice notes. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and fragrant. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 90 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media Dusty dried florals, crushed stone and black currants form a pretty display as the 2019 Rosso di Montepulciano opens up in the glass. Its silky textures soothe, as tart red and peppery black berries saturate, all guided by saline-infused acidity. Violets, blueberry skins and mulberry linger through the finale over a coating of sweet tannin. This blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot is so pretty and very nicely balanced.

- Score: 91 Vintage 2018 James Suckling A very pretty but serious Rosso di Montepulciano that shows fresh raspberries, rose petals, frozen strawberries, cherry compote and some tar. Medium body, round and juicy tannins and a medium-chewy finish. Drink now and enjoy this succulent red! Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 86 Vintage 2018 Wine Spectator Blackberry and black cherry flavors are the highlights of this light red. Earth and tea accents chime in on the chewy finish. Drink now. 11,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
