"The 2020 Vigna La Casaccia from the vineyard of the same name in the Cru Canalicchio is the wine that reflects the characteristics of this vineyard planted in 1990. Vigna Casaccia, thanks to its calcareous clay soils, enhances the sweetness of the tannin, its silkiness and its gradual relaxation, emphasised in the 2020 vintage by a mineral and fresh contrast." Francesco Ripaccioli

Rises in the glass with gorgeous floral scents and a hint of white smoke. Opens with a dark and dramatic presentation of balsamic-tinged black cherry, sage and Indian spices, contrasted by savoury notes of tobacco, rich earth tones and floral undergrowth. The astonishing density of the fruit is balanced by salty minerals, savoury acids and a hint of sour citrus. The texture is velvety-soft, yet the expression remains feminine and cheerful. The powerful tannins remain subtly in the background at first, and you can already sense the development this wine has in store. SUPERIORE.DE

"Extremely complex and elegant, herbaceous bouquet, predominantly red and blue berries, tobacco and again earthy-herbal notes. Very clearly defined structure on the palate, super juicy, finely woven and rich in finesse, razor-sharp contours, incredibly elegant, skilfully enveloped by fine, elegant tannins, with fine fruit and spicy-mineral notes, stretches very far and is eternally long with wonderful fruit sweetness and freshness. Beautiful elegance, very persistent and long on the final with the typical Sangiovese spice and ethereal notes." Weinwisser

"Firm and deep, tobacco-like aroma of ripe, predominantly dark berries with some tomato paste, herbs, a hint of cherries, leather, game, forest floor and dried flowers. Ripe, dense, juicy, warm fruit, tobacco, smoky and nutty notes, fine ethereal spice, present, yet very ripe and crumbly tannin, persistent and complex on the palate, salt in the background, tomato notes and Mediterranean herbs, hints of very good chocolate, juniper and peppery notes, a hint of tobacco ash and tar, very good, firm finish." Wein-Plus

"Light ruby red with violet reflections. Sugared wild strawberries, rosehip tea, Amarena cherries and mint on the nose, with a hint of lavender behind it, somewhat burnt. Lots of ripe fruit on the palate, powerful, ripe tannins, well-integrated acidity, beautiful juiciness and saltiness, elegant final." Falstaff

"Cherry-scented in the multi-faceted nose, also undergrowth and violet notes; the texture is characterised by the accentuated acidity, elegant fruity finish, flanked by floral, liquorice and menthol aromas. Convinces with its complexity." Vinum

"Rich and velvety, with hints of plum, cherry and iron as well as a touch of wild herbs, this red wine shows fine balance and expressiveness. The ripe fruit is balanced by refined tannins and the finish ends gracefully." Wine Spectator

"This wine always has an elegant brightness with flavours of orris root, blood orange and tart wild berries. In this vintage, the bouquet is somewhat stronger and more intense, but it remains restrained on the palate. Give it more time to develop." Wine Advocate

"A very intense and broodingwine. The nose is spicy, with earthy strawberries, cinnamon, sweet violets and even yellow stone fruit. Full-bodied and graceful on the palate, with velvety tannins, refreshing acidity and a polished finish. Long aftertaste. Grace and power go hand in hand here." James Suckling

"Dark and brooding, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna La Casaccia slowly blossoms in the glass with a dramatic blend of stewed plums, cinnamon sticks, grilled herbs and sweet lavender. This wine is a model of purity, serene and refined, with soft textures and a cool acidity that lends freshness as ripe red and blue fruits settle on the senses. The 2020 firms up on the finish, taking on a pleasantly bitter note that tickles the cheeks, while grippy tannins and crisp mineral tones frame the experience without getting in the way of its energetic personality." Vinous

"From the vineyard of the same name in the Canalicchio vineyard, notes of cranberry jam and ginger on the nose, then notes of wild mint and gardenia, with a hint of juniper. The palate is savoury, dense, with minty memories and small fruits." Luca Gardini
