97 / 100"Bright, intense ruby red with a slight purple hue. On the nose, beautiful savoury notes, some cinnamon, then plums and chocolate. Wonderful juicy fruit on the palate, crisp and fresh, finely meshed tannins, very long, supple and juicy."

96 / 100
"Supple and smooth, the 2020 Cepparello brings Sangiovese to soaring heights in a manner only Paolo De Marchi can manage. This is his second to last vintage before he would retire and sell this historic estate. The wine opens to medium to full-bodied concentration with dark plum and redcurrant. Those cede to sweet spice, earth, crushed stone, rusty nail and candied orange peel. Give the wine more time to flesh out with cellar age. It registers a powerful 15% alcohol content. - Monica Larner"
