“Fresh red fruits with layer of ruby stone, steel, mineral on nose. Ginger with fresh strawberry with hint of dry white mushroom. Silky elegant finish. Always one of the best Rosso di Montalcinos. Drink now.” -James Suckling, Oct. 2014

“Plenty of sliced apple, banana and peach character to this white. It’s full-bodied with good acidity and a minerally finish. Drink now.” -James Suckling, Oct. 2014

“A delicate, light red with a light color, sliced-strawberry and cream character, a medium body and a fresh finish. Lovely drinking wine now.” -James Suckling, Oct. 2014

“The 2011 Barbaresco Chiaramanti is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Rose petal, mint sweet red berries and spices open up in a resonant Barbaresco loaded with texture and volume. The 2011 Chiaramanti is one of the most expressive wines I have ever tasted at Ca’ Romè. The ample, broad style is hugely appealing. Silky, ripe tannins frame the voluptuous finish.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct. 2014

“Crushed flowers, tobacco, sweet red cherries, kirsch, mint and spices are laced together in the 2011 Barbaresco Maria di Brun, the estate’s selection from Rio Sordo. Ca’ Rome’ gives the Maria di Brun a total of four years in oak, which tend to take with it some of the wine’s freshness. Today, the 2011 is tight and unyielding, I don’t see the Maria di Brun matching the best 2011s here, but time will tell.” -James Suckling, Oct. 2014

“Dark red plums, black cherries, menthol, cloves and spices all flesh out in the 2011 Barbaresco Rio Sordo. A large-scaled, ample wine, the 2010 Rio Sordo is all about power and virility. There is plenty of 2011 vintage raciness and richness, but those elements are tempered by considerable tannins that will need a few years to settle down.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct. 2014

“Surprisingly ripe and dense for the vintage, this opens with aromas of plum, vanilla and chocolate that carry over to the palate along with espresso and coffee. It has a forward nature with tame acidity and soft tannins that make it already accessible. Drink 2015-2025.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 2014

“Dark red cherry, plum, cloves, leather and spices are laced together in the 2008 Campaccio Riserva. Subtle and layered in the glass, the 2008 speaks to understatement. For a wine of its age, the 2008 remains fresh and vibrant, although the structure is a bit compact, which is typical of many wines of the year. Game, smoke, tobacco and licorice are some of the notes that wrap around a finish that becomes increasingly dense and powerful with air”. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2014

“Deceptively medium in body, the 2010 Campaccio is laced with dark red cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and dried herbs. The 2010 should drink well with minimal cellaring, but it also has more than enough energy to drink well for a number of years. Although pretty and delicate in style, the 2010 needs a bit of air to open up. Campaccio is 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2014

“The 2010 Chianti Classico Riserva Croce possesses good depth, resonance and balance. Sage, rosemary tobacco and spice wrap around a core of expressive dark fruit in a supple, juicy Chianti Classico to drink now and over the next few years”. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2014
