Vinous 94 – above every Il Carnasciale and most Caberlots:
The 2019 Ottantadue, 100% Sangiovese, is bright, effusive and full of personality. It offers up a beguiling mix of sweet red berry fruit, pipe tobacco, incense, mint and dried flowers. Medium in body, yet wonderfully deep, this wine shows how compelling Sangiovese can be.
Falstaff also rates this the best Ottantadue ever:
Clear and radiant on the palate, has an enormous amount of juice and fruit, pithy and salty to the end, very well done this year.
