94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The
2007 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is another fabulous wine. It is
completely different than the Montefico, even though the vineyards are
literally next to each other. The Montestefano shows quite a bit more
fruit than the Montefico, with silky, polished tannins that convey an
impression of sensual elegance. Crushed flowers, mint, licorice and dark
red cherries are some of the notes that wrap around the deep finish.
This is a fabulous Montestefano. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2032." -
Antonio Galloni (Oct 2011)

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2007 Barbaresco Riserva Montefico is all about energy and sheer
power. The Montefico is quite virile, even in this vintage, with a
certain austerity in the tannin that will require time in bottle to
soften. Dark red fruit, leather, anise and spices are some of the notes
that wrap around the insistent, pointed finish. There is plenty of
nuance here, but not the early appeal of the year. This is a great
showing, but readers will need to be patient. Anticipated maturity:
2017- 2029." - Antonio Galloni (Oct 2011)

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2007 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is a huge wine. In some ways it
reminds me of the 2004 because of its silkiness, but the 2007 is a
richer wine with more weight, glycerin and body. Sweet cherries,
flowers, hard candy and spices are woven together beautifully through to
the plush, enveloping finish. Despite the power and richness there is
plenty of Asili character in the glass. Anticipated maturity:
2017-2032." - Antonio Galloni (Oct 2011)

95 Points & "Cellar Selection" - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"Pio
Cesare and the 2007 vintage marry beautifully to produce a layered,
opulent, textured, rich wine that is bursting with zesty red fruit,
sassy spice, leather and toasted espresso bean. What really sets this
wine apart is the dense smoothness of its texture. Save this bottle in
your cellar 10 years or more." —M.L. (9/1/2011)

94 Points - James Suckling:
Perfumed
and almost smoky with plum and berry undertones. Then turns to flowers.
Full body, with rich and velvety tannins and a solid core of fruit.
Dried strawberries and prunes. Rich and beautiful. Amazing quality for
the blended Barolo from here. From vines of 70 percent Serralunga and 30
percent Castiglione Falleto.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The estate’s 2007 Barolo Bricco Fiasco shows the radiant personality of
the vintage while maintaining considerable freshness. Fiasco is a
vineyard that typically presents firm tannins, but in 2007 the warmth of
the year has given the wine an extra dimension of plumpness to the
fruit that is quite welcome. This shows superb purity on the mid-palate,
where hints of smoke, tar, licorice and a host of other aromas and
flavors add complexity to the seamless fruit. A minerally, saline finish
rounds things out in style. This is a stunning Barolo from Azelia.
Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.

96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
All
of the elements come together beautifully in the 2007 Barolo San Rocco,
a wine that captures the essence of this great vintage as seen through
the lens of one of Serralunga’s top sites. A dark, sensual Barolo, the
San Rocco offers up a compelling array of blueberries, blackberries,
smoke, licorice, spices and menthol. The finish is round, enveloping and
powerful. There is an element of mystery to the San Rocco that is
particularly intriguing. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.

Lorenzo Scavino strives to make a "bright Nebbiolo, good to be drunk
with your with everyday meals." Stainless steel aging results in a
"really flowery and fruity" wine.
While Lorenzo wants this red on ordinary dining tables, the Nebbiolo in
the bottle is anything but. All of the fruit comes from Barolo vineyards
in Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba. The vines are about 20
years old and grow in white calcareous soils about 350M above sea level.

93 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"This
generous Barolo delivers ample flesh, coruscated by cherry, balsamic
and licorice flavors. Juicy, with the ripe sweetness extending through
the finish. Shows fine harmony and length. Best from 2014 through 2033.
200 cases imported." –BS (Nov 30, 2011)

93+ Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Good bright, dark red. Primary black cherry and dark berry aromas are
lifted by mint, spices and flowers. Elegant, perfumed and very floral;
begins juicy and tight but expands nicely in the mouth. Boasts terrific
verve for 2007, finishing with firm but fine tannins and sneaky
persistence. I'd hold this for at least five years." - Stephen Tanzer
