Critics Ratings

‘Very pale crimson with a light nose and sweet palate entry. Fine tannins. Amazingly fresh fruit for a 15% wine!’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Mar 2023)

‘This attractive red features sweet, ripe cherry, raspberry, licorice and leather flavors, with iron, tar and tobacco accents. Complex, yet elegant and well-toned, this remains long, exhibiting dense tannins and bright acidity. Shows excellent balance and intensity. Best from 2023 through 2042.’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (Sep 2020)

‘The 2015 Barolo Brunate is decidedly not a shy wine. It opens to dark color saturation and varietal aromas that are dark and thick in character. That characteristic power and determination of the Brunate cru is played forward with perfect pitch. This wine shows compact and firm structure, like tight bricks layered one on top of the other, to form the density and richness that makes such a lasting impact on the palate.’ – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 95+/100 (Jun 2019)

‘The 2015 Barolo Brunate is another enticing wine in this range. Black cherry, spice, leather and licorice all flesh out in the glass. The breadth and textural resonance that are such signatures of Brunate emerge effortlessly. I would give the 2015 a few years in bottle to come together. Even in the early going, the 2015 exudes class. The Brunate is the darkest and most powerful wine in this range.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 93/100 (Feb 2019)
