James Suckling
Reviewed August 2024The depth and beauty of this are so enticing and attractive that you want to drink the whole bottle. It’s medium- to full-bodied with cherries, strawberries and white truffles. Juicy and precise, with a real presence and complexity as it opens. Best after 2027, but already gorgeous.

Wine Spectator
Strawberry, cherry, rose, eucalyptus and stony mineral flavors are framed by dense, fine-grained tannins in this graceful, firmly structured red. Elegant and very Burgundy in profile, with a vibrant character and excellent length. (BS)

A monopole in Serralunga acquired in the early 1980s (Asili one year later). An amphitheatre that faces south to south-west. The Falletto bottling comes from 20- to 40-year-old vines in the bottom part. 10,000 bottles made. Bottled July 2023. To be released February 2024.Transparent crimson. Lightly pungent again – like Rabajà 2020 – plus lightly floral. Sweet and rich and very flattering. Long and by no means simple. More fruit than tannin at this early stage. 18/20 points (JR)
