(Rocca di Pietra Longa 2019) "Intriguing and with a multifaceted profile, it shows notes of lemon flowers, flint, barley malt, hay and eucalyptus. Full body, soft and decidedly juicy and structured, it closes enveloping and with a pleasant sip. How beautiful." 91 points, Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritic.com (August 2021)
