"This is a young wine with terrific depth and layers of fruit. It’s full-bodied with notes of eucalyptus, lavender and sage and hints of matchsticks and oranges. It’s linear and tight at the end, with an energetic finish. Very Saffredi in nature." 99, James Suckling

"Crushed stone, black pepper, smoke and spices. Chocolate, too. Medium to full body,round tannins and a long, juicy finish. Creamy and round-textured. Spicy at the end. Stems and whole bunches for about one third of the grapes. About one half made in amphora and half in 500-liter used barrels. Drink or hold." 96, James Suckling

A burst of crushed rocks and sage gives way to nuances of green apple and sweet spice. It possesses a deep, glycerol-like texture, nearly oily in feel, with tart orchard fruits and masses of stimulating citrus further enhanced...

"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a fascinating interpretation of Vigneti di Versante. It takes the lifted, floral, exotic nature of the vintage and marries it beautifully to Pian dell'Orino's style of finesse and refinement. Mint leaf, crushed rocks, hints of camphor and dried strawberries are complicated by suggestions of ground ginger in the glass. This is elegant and refined,...

"This is really rich and flavorful with meat, game, berries and some cloves. Full body, tight center palate with a long and flavorful finish. Shows depth and focus." 95-96, James Suckling

"The 2022 Morellino di Scansano Riserva is a tasty wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Intense red-toned fruit, leather, cedar, tobacco and incense are front and center. The warmth of the year is evident, and yet this is very nicely done, with fine balance and tons of charm to match. It will be especially fine...
