Monique Sosa reviewed this wine as follows:

Absolutely amazing! Typicity and quality vintage after vintage. This Amarone starts out with of dried fruit, sweet spice and savoury aromas followed by a taste of dried dates, raisins, anise and dried herbs. The palate is rich, full-bodied and satiny smooth. There is not need cellar this Amarone, they are bottle to be consumed within a day of being purchased. Enjoy with anything! I had mine glass with vegetable somosas.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
