"Mid bricky red. Complex mix of fruit and more savoury notes as well as a touch of spice. Seems very youthful, with a long, spicy, smoothly textured finish. (JH)"

"Wild herbs, black cherries and exotic spices create a wildly inviting bouquet as the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano opens in the glass. This is undeniably silky and elegant on the palate. Fleshy red fruits are neatly framed by bright acids, as balsam and mocha notes form toward the close. The 2019 leaves a gentle staining of fine tannins to linger, along with a sour citrus hint that adds contrast. This is simply a pleasure today but has short-term cellaring potential.- By Eric Guido on October 2022"

"Dark, saturated and showing balanced intensity, the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo Nero. This wine offers nicely ripened flavors with medium-rich concentration and velvety tannins. It carries more fruit weight than average, with sweet cherry and baked plum backed by medium-bright acidity. This comes from an ample production of 110,000 bottles."

"The nose is toned, astringent and fruity, with notes of cranberry and hibiscus blending with coconut, vanilla and black cherry. The vanilla and black cherry structure the round, full palate, which finishes with a streak of spice. Enotec Imports, Inc. ‡D.C. "

"#34 Top 100 Wines of 2023: A smooth red, with cherry, plum and spice flavors shaded by savory underbrush and wild herb accents. Shows iron and tobacco details on the long finish, with fine balance and grip overall. Prugnolo Gentile and Canaiolo. Best from 2024 through 2040. 10,000 cases made, 3,500 cases imported. ‡BS"
