Wine Spectator
Reviewed February 2026This red is supple and complex, walking a fine line between fruity and savory, youthful and mature. Cherry, plum, almond, iron, earth and tobacco notes pick up a hint of vanilla as this fades gracefully on the long, lively aftertaste. Prugnolo Gentile and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2035. (BS)

James Suckling
A dark wine with an austere profile. Aromas of forest floor, black cherries, camphor and dried flowers. Medium-bodied, it shows a forthright structure with crisp acidity, chalky tannins and a tight finish that’s chewy and polished. Drink or hold. (AF)

Vinous
The 2021 Nobile di Montepulciano is a total pleasure on the nose, wafting up with a display of crushed blackberry, wild blueberry, autumnal spice and licorice aromas. This is juicy in style with crisp red and blue fruit tones that swirl across a stream of brisk acidity as nuances of lavender inform the close. The 2021 leaves a gentle tension and subtly grippy tannins that frame the experience quite well, finishing long yet fresh. (EG)

Decanter
Trained opera singer, Maria Caterina Dei made a deal with her father to help him with the 1991 vintage – and never left. Since 2014, she has worked with consulting enologist, Paolo Caciorgna, and this 2021 vintage marks the first with organic certification. Aromas of red berries emerge from a savoury forest backdrop. Upfront in flavours of vanilla and nutmeg, the palate is ample and sturdy rather than plush. Sour cherry and a twist of citrus sit against a framework of pleasantly tart acidity and confident, compact tannins, slightly austere at first but eventually yielding to a satisfying chew. (MM)
