James Suckling 98“Extremely perfumed, showing lots of rose, lavender and dark-berry character. Full body with intense density and chewiness that gives the wine great structure. Lots of flavor and focus at the finish. Needs five to six years to finish. Drink in 2024” (January, 2019) Vinous Media (Antonio Galloni) 97“The 2015 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is ample, full-bodied and rich on the palate, and yet retains its explosive floral lift and brightness, two of the signatures that are such calling c

An overtly floral nose flashes notes of iodine, freshly sliced white-fleshed fruit and an interesting hint of tangerine peel. There is both excellent volume and vibrancy to the solidly powerful and focused flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully long, complex and well-balanced finale. Classy juice that is well-worth your attention.Burghound 91-93 Sweet Spot Outstanding!

Vinous Media (Antonio Galloni) 94-97“The 2016 Cepparello is shaping up to be another magnificent wine from proprietor Paolo De Marci. Vivid and nuanced, with veins of saline-infused energy, the 2016 is also creamy and resonant, not to mention impeccable in its overall balance. A burst of dark red/purplish berry fruit, crushed rocks and graphite punctuate the finish. This is a super-impressive showing.” (February, 2019)
