Critics Ratings
'Mostly French varieties plus nod to Italian ancestry with 15% Sangiovese. 2014, first since 2011 (90 points), shows power in firm tannins and lively acidity running through ripe mélange of red and black fruit. Good length, intensity and new-oak backbone suggest a good future.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (92 points)
'Teano is the Dalla Cia family's South African take on a Supertuscan red, produced from a marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese, aged in new wood. Ripe, yet well balanced, it has raspberry, red cherry and bramble fruit, leafy, savoury tannins, some tobacco spice and well-integrated oak. 2020-26.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 93/100
