Reviews of 2022 Montepulciano:
88 points, Lisa Cardelli, Winepilot, October 2023:
"Prunes, kirsch, bramble, stewed black plums and black cherry. Seems like that the crostata alla frutta nera (black fruit tart) that my grandmother used to make it’s finally back. Add some blue violets on the table, and I’m ready for my merenda (tea break). As inky as you can possibly imagine, the young and exuberant tannins are embracing the palate like my grandmother, strong of her many years as farmer, went on when I was a quarter of her height. It’s an honest wine, unpretentious like a good Italian farmer would be."

"Deep ruby in colour and fruit forward with lashings of liquorice allsorts, black cherry laced with allspice. Mid weight and chewy with firm tannins and a muscular texture, dark berry/ chocolaty fruits gently lingering to finish."
