Lorenzo Sassetti's Riserva has a dense texture and resolute power. Brilliant, rich ruby colour with a garnet rim. A core of dark fruits and black cherries is framed by spices, toast, pressed rose and earthy garden soil. Firm, very dense tannins, builds up in many layers, savoury, ripe fruit, firm pressure and not a hint of dryness on the final, great potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Seductive berry flavours, also notes of flowers and herbs; multi-faceted texture, the acidity invigorating, the tannins tightly meshed, the finish full of polish and elegance, the fruity notes beguiling. A great wine that can mature." Vinum

"An intoxicating blend of spices, leather, roasted coffee and grilled herbs rises from the glass. These spicy elements flow into the core of wild red berries and create a multi-faceted flavour experience. The tannins are present without being aggressive, they are complexly structured and give the wine a powerful bite. The racy acidity is equally driving and provides an explosion of blood oranges in the final." Decanter

"Exuberant aromas and flavours of mint and eucalyptus combine with black cherry, blackcurrant, violets, iron and tobacco. The tannins are abundant and overall this red wine is broad and volatile, but it comes into its own in the long, extended aftertaste. Distinctive and impressive." Wine Spectator

"Sweet tobacco and liquorice combine with hints of incense and mentholated blackberries as the Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 emerges from the glass. On the palate, it is surprisingly juicy and lively, with racy red and black fruits driven by zesty acidity, while a wild citrus finish embellishes the finish. The 2019 leaves the senses reeling with youthful excitement, yet retains its fantastic energy and finishes with a pickling length and sour cherry. The 2019 is already accessible yet balanced for a long and steady evolution." Vinous

"A red wine with a very fine texture that impresses with its transparency and vibrancy. Flavours of flowers, cherries and sandalwood merge into a medium body with very fine tannins and a long, persistent finish. Very noble." James Suckling
