Critics Ratings

“Greve in Chianti. Impenetrable dark ruby with very narrow orange rim. Sweet, rich, internationally styled. Dense and rich on the palate too with enormous sweetness and concentration, but well balanced. Very international and upfront and still very young.” - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 15.5/20 (Aug 2012)
