“One of Italy's best Cabernet Francs.” - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
98 POINTS, Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023
“A riot of pepper lights up the nose, from cracked black to green peppercorn to hot chili. Flint and leather undertones empower the heat, while aromas of raspberry jam and vanilla provide balance. The palate stays spicy, with snappy, confident acidity, but a sweetness lingers, and a finish of chili and chocolate ties everything together. Transcendent. Drink 2030–2040 or beyond.”

“Classy, elegant and wonderfully polished. Crushed flowers, spice and blood orange lend brightness. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, Paleo Rosso offers tons of depth. Historically it has aged quite well. The 2020 spent 18 months in 100% French oak, with 5% of the wine aged in amphora. Drink 2027-2045.”
