Vinous, 92+ Points (2017 Vintage)

"Vivid deep red. Very juicy red cherry and minerals on the nose and in the mouth. This is characterized by a ripe mouthfeel, remarkably suave tannins and a hint of white pepper plus cinnamon on the long back end. It is also very different from the 2016 Pettinociarelle that was more refined, while this 2017 is more nectar-like and ripe (though still very elegant). Ages mostly in old tonneaux and just a few used barriques; the oak is extremely judiciously used. Calogero Statella has another winner on his hands: this wine is yet another knockout (only the second vintage made)."

Organically grown.
