"The Madonna delle Grazie further ups the game. At this stage it’s showing a brooding nose with tightly wound texture, a magnified version of its peer Brunello. Layers of dark, juicy berries lifted by blood orange, wild undergrowth and its mineral character. Long and intense, it fully showcases how the 2021 combines both 2019’s succulence with 2020’s power. Spellbinding. Tasted...

Simply stunning, weightless power.  A strong contender for wine of the vintage.  Floral lift, crunchy berry, saline and saline finish.  Wow.Malcolm Willatts, Armit Wines

"Red berries and rose petals, textbook Nebbiolo elevated to perfection. Piano wire tension carrying the wine from start to finish, the tannins are plentiful and rich without being astringent acting as the backbone holding the fruit expression tight but allowing individual expression as the wine sits on the mid palate. Needs time but already so compelling! Stunning Giacosa brilliance." Armit...

"Tasted blind. Some savour. Fresh and racy, very sleek – with ‘cashmere tannins’. Polished and fun to drink already. Lots of persistence. (JR)" 18.5, Jancis Robinson

More towards the black fruit spectrum. Quite dense, without losing its lift. The texture is supple and pleasant with a nice, refreshing acidity. Clay and limestone soil. 11 months barrel ageing.
