98 Points Luca Maroni 

"Sensations: exceptional richness, this wine reveals itself as dense and full-bodied - the essence of morello cherry pulp, blackberry and grape. A sublime concentration but the taste is soft and supple; very admirable and harmonious... A pure wine, well balanced with hints of spice, the juicy fruit has exceptional expressive power. One of the best red wines of the year, hats off."

93 Points Alessandro Righetti

With its richness of extract and its pleasant drink the "Corte al Passo" is a real treat! It enchants the eyes with its intense garnet red and seduces the nose with its scent of berries, cherries and spices. On the palate this Sangiovese with the addition of a small percentage of Merlot grapes is straightforward and enveloping, with sweetish aromas that recall those of the bouquet and which are accompanied by hints of chocolate and aromatic herbs. A soft tannin and a harmonious finish complete the profile
