Critics Ratings

'A shade deeper than the Santo Spirito and more powerful on the nose. Juicy, sweet, red-fruit palate with coating tannins. Could do with a bit more time to open up more. Burgundian interpretation of Nerello Mascalese.' - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jun 2015)

'Calderara Sottana offers more balsamic definition with wild fennel, rosemary spring, dark fruit and scorched earth. To my palate, it is the most ethereal of the bunch and the hardest to pin down given that the aromas are in constant evolution and flux. Pretty fruit and berry tones fill in the back. Despite the enormous definition presented on the bouquet, the wine is more immediate and direct in the mouth. Bright berry is followed by ash, smoke and dusty tannins. This vintage feels less complex overall but it should age nicely.' - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 91-93/100 (Sep 2015)
