Critic Scores:

• 97 – Eric Guido, Vinous

Sourced from the estate's highly prized single vineyard lying at the foot of the Romitorio hill—directly facing the revered Montosoli cru—this micro-production bottling captures the legendary, five-star brilliance of the 2016 vintage.

Capitalising on a flawless growing season that delivered ideal structural equilibrium, this 100% Sangiovese thrives on a nutrient-deficient, complex soil profile of compressed galestro, clay, and albarese limestone that forces the vines to yield highly concentrated berries. In the glass, it commands attention with a pure, luminous ruby profile.

The aromatics reveal a lifted and wonderfully stimulating display of bright red fruits and savory spice, framed beautifully by notes of crushed stone, animal musk, and dusty florals.

On the palate, it balances striking depth with elegant textures, weaving tart wild berries with a cool-toned, mineral-driven acidity that creates an almost crunchy sensation toward the close.

Formally recognised by Eric Guido of Vinous as a standout example of the vintage, he lauded it as a "remarkably pretty and pure expression" anchored by firm yet rounded tannins that provide tremendous structural balance without ever feeling youthfully clenched.
