"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

"The 2022 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Fonte Canale lifts from the glass with utter poise. It's citric and mineral-driven, displaying a cascade of wildflowers, crushed rocks, nectarines and hints of raw almond. The 2022 is elegant in style with subtle textures and depths of saline-infused orchard fruits, all offset by a spike of lemony acidity. Saturating and long, it tapers off with...

"The 2023 Pecorino Quarmari sneaks up on you with a bouquet that starts quite understated and coy but becomes explosive with time. 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 2023 Galatrona,100% Merlot, is soft, plush and sensual. Dark blue/purplish fruit, cloves, new leather, menthol and licorice all meld together in the glass. Soft, caressing contours shape this mid-weight, understated vintage of the estate's flagship wine. The 2023 is not a huge Galatrona but is instead a wine that impresses with its finesse. This is a step up from...

"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...

One of the most fascinating white wines from Piedmont. Chardonnay is vinified alongside Nebbiolo, both sourced from the family’s Pira vineyard in "Barolo. Nebbiolo is vinified with no skin contact, but the grape lends the wine its complex texture and length. Buttery notes are complemented by orchard fruit and hazlenuts. Made with a nod towards white Burgundy." Armit Wines

"Aromas of red fruit, dried flowers, orange peel and walnuts. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Dry with a fine texture. Hints of crushed stones and cedar at the end. Better from 2027." 93, James Suckling

"Luca produces one of the finest examples of Timorasso from just 1 hectare in the Colli Tortonesi, 400 metres above sea level. Mineral and saline, with notes of lemon confit and exotic fruit, this is surely one of the most distinctive and exhilarating white wines in Italy. Pure finesse. Quantities are extremely limited."
