• Score: 94 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 San Germano is bursting with super-ripe black cherry, plum, lavender, dried herbs and spice. This flamboyant, racy Maremma red packs plenty of punch. Broad and ample, with real palate presence, the 2019 has a ton to offer. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 92 Vintage 2019 Wine Spectator A broad, ripe red marked by plum, earth and leather flavors. Shows a salty element that underlines everything, while leafy underbrush and eucalyptus notes peek through on the lightly astringent finish. Fresh, complex and powerful in the end. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangioveto. Best from 2026 through 2039. 416 cases made, 100 cases imported Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 95 Vintage 2018 Vinous Media A new wine in this range, the 2018 San Germano emerges from a single parcel on the estate that is the highest site in elevation on the property. Dark red cherry and plum fruit deliver quite a bit of punch. There’s terrific energy and delineation here. The San Germano is deep and also beautifully delineated, with tons of character. Blackberry, gravel, dark spice and mocha build into the fleshy, articulate finish. The blend is 45% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Sangioveto. Vinification was in steel while malos were done in cement. Aging was just under two years in French oak. All the elements are so well-balanced here. Twelve Etruscan tombs were found during the development of the vineyard, a reminder of a rich history here that goes back approximately 3,000 years. The 2018 is a fabulous debut and one of the best wines I have tasted here. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 91 Vintage 2018 james Suckling Aromas of cherry, meat and spices with some cedar follow through to a medium body with chewy tannins and a slightly austere finish. Needs time to soften. Sangiovese, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Best after 2024. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
