91/100 • I'Rennero 2005 / Funkelndes, sattes Rubinviolett. Fein gezeichnete Nase, viel Zwetschken, Brombeere, im Hintergrund nach feiner dunkler Schokolade. Öffnet sich mit geschmeidigem Tannin, sehr elegant, feinkörnig und mit süßem Schmelz, im Finale etwas diffus.
90/100 • Gualdo del Re 2004 / Funkelndes, intensives Rubin. Intensive Nase mit Noten nach Rumtopf, unterlegt von leicht würzigen Komponenten, nach Sandelholz. Am Gaumen saftig und klar, entfaltet sich mit griffigem Tannin, baut sich schön auf, im Finale satt nach Kirschenkonfitüre.
90/100 • Federico Primo 2005 / Funkelndes, sattes Rubin. Satte Nase mit Noten nach Zwetschken, Brombeere und etwas Tabak. Am Gaumen kraftvoll, breitet sich mit satter Frucht aus, viel saftige Brombeerfrucht, weiches Tannin, rund und geschmeidig.

92/100 • I'Rennero 2004 / Winemaker Barbara Tamburini is a rising star, and her l’Rennero Merlot is outstandingly juicy and succulent. Notes of ripe fruit such as black cherry and blueberry are backed by sweet spice and a rich, plush mouthfeel. The wine is powerful and chewy but also elegant and balanced at the same time."-ML
91/100 • Federico Primo 2004 / This Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold expression of Tuscany with generous layers of clove, Indian spice, crushed black pepper and black plum. The nose is distinguished by a lingering clove aroma. The tannins are thick but smooth and the mouthfeel is plush and rich."-ML
90/100 • Gualdo del Re 2003 / This is a modern, powerful wine with dense penetration and generous aromas of clove, spice, vanilla, black cherry and inky blackberry. Those pretty, sweet-tasting, wood-driven flavors last a long time on the palate."-ML

96/100 • I'Rennero 2001 "Dark, dense, ruby, youthful. Hugely complex nose and palate, entire spectrum from primary to tertiary; ripe fruit, oak, soy, minerals, earth, spices. Rich, smooth and chewy tannins (grape and oak), good acidity with some MLF butter notes, full bodied and nicely balanced structurally, long and complex. Evolves beautifully in glass. Outstanding. Near unanimous WOTN. Would easily rival the best of Italian Merlots, including Masseto." - Barbara B.
95/100 • Federico I 2004 "Ruby colored; dense. Beautifully expressive nose of fruit and earth. On palate, sweet sensation from the ripe fruit; good/rich earth and minerality; bracing acidity and good tannic bite. Very young, but all the structural components are nicely balanced. Medium+ body, elegant, long, complex, superb. Thought it was Sassicaia. My first experience with this wine. Blown away!..." - Barbara B.
