93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The
2008 Roero Audinaggio is flat-out delicious; in fact it is one of the
finest wines I have tasted from Ca-Rossa. The bouquet alone is
beautiful. Sweet roses, flowers of all types, cherries and licorice
emerge from this silky, refined Nebbiolo. I find gorgeous mid-palate
sweetness and depth in an elegant, refined style that could easily be
mistaken for a Barbaresco from the famous Asili vineyard. This is a
fabulous effort from Ca- Rossa, and hopefully a sign of even greater
things to come. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018." - Antonio Galloni (Dec
2010)

90 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Delicate aromas of lemon peel, spices and white flowers. Then
surprisingly supple on the palate, with good energy and depth to its
flavors of white grapefruit and licorice. A serious torrontes that
offers texture and weight without any heaviness. Finishes with a citrus
peel edge that gives the wine very good cut." - Stephen Tanzer (Jan/Feb '11)

This is a wine we could drink every day and never tire. Energetic on
the tongue with abundant aroma, this beautiful Sancerre delivers a
textbook example of the verve and spirit that Sauvignon Blanc
practically glows with when crafted by the best. Fresh and pure, the
nose is full of black pepper, sweet pink grapefruit and rose water
notes. A blissful combination of round citrus flavors and serious
minerality; white pepper and oyster shells mix with lime and lemon rinds
and ripe white fruits for a serious mouthful of Sancerre pleasure. The
2009 vintage is amazing Sancerre at its most seductive!

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The
2009 Pinot Bianco offers up plenty of ripe, tropical fruit in a fairly
full-bodied, intense style. This is decidedly riper than the cooler,
more aromatic Pinot Grigio. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The
2008 Vintage Tunina is terrific. The wine’s trademark expansive bouquet
and generous fruit are beautifully balanced by a vein of minerality
that is the hallmark of this cool year. All of the elements come
together beautifully in the glass as the 2008 Vintage Tunina shows off
layers of succulent peaches, pears, apricots, flowers and mint, along
with hints of sweetness from the late-harvested fruit that is such a big
component of the wine’s signature style. Vintage Tunina is Sauvignon,
Chardonnay, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana and Picolit. Anticipated
maturity: 2012-2018." - Antonio Galloni (Feb 2011)

90 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Green-tinged
yellow. Complex nose is a step up in intensity from the I Fiori
bottling, combining white peach, thyme, nut oil and delicate vanilla
spice. Supple, spicy and sweet in the mouth but without the vanilla or
oak spices dominating the pure orchard and tropical fruit flavors. At
once creamy and precise on the finish, with lovely sugar/acid snap and
excellent persistence. I would never have guessed this wine carried 14%
alcohol." -Ian D'Agata (Mar/Apr '11)

90 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Pale
straw-yellow. Perfumed nose displays intense aromas of yellow apple,
nectarine and fresh white flowers. At once dense and lively on the
palate, with vibrant citrus, apple, pear and tangerine flavors that last
impressively on the back end; this reminded me of walking through an
orchard. Excellent focus for an entry-level Soave. One of the two best
base Soaves of 2010; in fact, this is one of the finest I've tasted from
Pieropan in quite some time. For those who have been left nonplussed by
simple Soave in the past, this is one to try." - Ian D'Agata (Sept/Oct '11)
