Acclaim

A tight and chalky Vino Nobile Riserva here that shows a quiet yet incisive oyster-shell minerality to the savory, orangey fruit, laurel, nutmeg and berries. More depth and structure than the Vino Nobile bottling with crumbled mineral tannins that melt into a long yet understated finish. Grippy as an iron claw but nothing drying here. The impressive clarity and austerity makes you want to come back to it to finish a bottle. Drinkable now, but will keep very well in the next 10-12 years.

Nuanced minerality chiselled to the ripe red berries, blood orange zest, savory plums and cherries. Medium to full body on the palate with a bone-dry, transparent middle and a tight, mineral coating of tannins. Fruity but pithy and precise, too. A joy to taste and drink already, but can hold well in the next five to eight years, if not more.

Pure, scented and transparent with lots of racy raspberries, strawberries, red cherries, herbs and potpourri. This is really fresh and tangy with fine, linear tannins carrying the juicy, nimble red fruit to a fresh, lifted finish. Really drinkable, fresh and expressive. Drink now.

Tarry berries, black mineral, dried orange rind and mussels on the nose. I like the chalky tannin structure and the pithiness here that makes you think of the build of a fine Serralunga d’Alba Barolo. Tight, bold and very austere, for sure, but so attractive and gastronomic at the same time. The tannins make you feel hungry. Give it time to unwind. Better from 2026.

This has aromas of toasted walnuts, black plums and spice box. Full-bodied, with firm and nicely integrated tannins. Creamy and long finish. Drink or hold.

Very refined and complex nose with a hint of pine cones, botanicals and dark mushrooms to the zesty oranges, mineral, fine musk and plums. Juicy, dry but textured on the palate with stacks of dusty tannins growing on the savory, full-bodied palate. Long and quite mineral in the finish. Better from 2025.

This has aromas of toasted walnuts, black plums and spice box. Full-bodied, with firm and nicely integrated tannins. Creamy and long finish. Drink or hold.

A juicy and dark-fruited red with aromas of oyster shells, blackcurrants and bay leaves. Medium-bodied, sleek and well-balanced. Drink now.

Black cherry, orange peel, and crushed stone aromas. The palate is medium and round with a crunchy, cement and dusty-tannined texture. Fresh fruit. Drink now.

Stewed cherries, mushrooms, cumin and sandalwood on the nose. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a savory, firm and long finish. Drink from 2024.
