| Speri | Valpolicella Classico Superiore “Sant’Urbano” DOC | 2011 | Wine Advocate | 01/02/2015 | 89 | ||||||
Verbiage“The 2011 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Sant’ Urbano is distinguished by an inner sense of focus and balance. Fresh fruit layers of wild berrry, cassis, dried blueberry and toasted almond rise from the glass. The wine scores very high in terms of general drinkability. I was greatly impressed with the new releases from Speri this year. The wines from the Sant’ Urbano vineyard proved exceptional. Some of the best wines of the Valpolicella today are coming out of this site.” – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2015 |

| Tenuta Bellafonte | Montefalco Sagrantino “Collenottolo” DOCG | 2010 | Wine Enthusiast | 01/02/2015 | 94 | ||||||
Verbiage“Forest floor, ripe black fruit, truffle, leather and balsamic aromas open this bold, concentrated wine. The delicious palate offers layers of blackberry, spicy plum, black pepper, cassis and savory herb alongside big, velvety tannins. It has balance and depth but it’s still young and needs time to develop complexity. Drink 2018–2030.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 2015 |

The concentrated palate delivers ripe black cherry, dried plum, clove, leather and licorice alongside solid tannins and the warmth of alcohol.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 2015 |
