Critics Ratings
“Just mid ruby. Serious and a little brooding, hints of raspberry, wild strawberry with an undertow of spice. Really opens up in the glass. Fantastic, lively acidity that melts into the ripe raspberry fruit on the finish. Long chewy tannins and finely balanced. Such elegance!” - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2023)
“Perfumed and expressive, this red exudes rose, strawberry, cherry and mineral aromas and flavors. Detailed and complex, with terrific harmony and finesse. The long aftertaste echoes the floral, fruit and mineral elements. Shows the graceful, sophisticated side of Barolo.” - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 96/100 (Feb 2024)
“The bouquet opens to elegant floral intensity with wild rose, violet, orange peel and delicate berry. This wine feels very alive thanks to the lifted and delicate nature of its aromas. The finish is silky, with melting tannins and terrific length.” - Monica Larner, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 97/100 (Aug 2023)
“The 2019 Barolo Acclivi is a very serious wine in this range. It possesses a gorgeous core and tons of supporting structure. Today, the Acclivi is quite closed, but time in the glass releases gorgeous red fruit and blood orange character.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94/100 (Nov 2022)
