Dear readers,
This year we had the honor of being featured in WinesCritic's Top100 with no less than two wines!
- Capraia Effe'55 2019 - 96, points at position 46. "Juicy and integral in sensory profile shows notes of agapanthus, lime, lemon peel, lime, vetiver and coriander. Full body, perfectly extracted tannins of remarkable bite and a firm, firm finish that thrills in the true sip. Best since 2026."
- Rocca di Castagnoli Poggio a'Frati 2019 - 96 points, at position 59. "Shines in the glass with important nuances of different red and blue fruits. Hints of wild strawberries, black plums, blackberries, wild blueberries, white pepper, wild violet, hibiscus and agapanthus. mixed spice notes color the secondary scene melding with intriguing, compound tones of black cherries and guarana. Full body, beautifully crafted biting tannins and a compressed but impressively long and lingering finish. An adelicate but solid caress that thrills with every sip. Best since 2025."
We would like to thank all the staff of WinesCritic and especially the editors: Raffaele Vecchione and Federica Ferone.
