PRESS REVIEWS 2014 - 2015
Gilbert & Gaillard, January 2015
Klanis 2011
Gold Label (89/100)
Dark colour with youthful highlights. Ripe nose suggestive of plum and prune with a pleasant liquorice touch.
The attack shows depth, density and more of the same mature aromas. A wine for cellaring that may still
gain more complexity.
Selverello Syrah 2013
Gold Label (87/100)
Purple-blue tints. Racy nose intermixing black fruits, liquorice and mineral tones. Very mellow, pleasant
attack on the palate with abundant freshness and lots of expression. A trace of firmness on the finish yet still
harmonious across the palate.
Wines of Italy 2015, Gambero Rosso
“Soave Runcata ’12 turned in a very impressive performance. An oak-aged white grown in the hills above the
cellar, it releases ripe pear and apple, along with a subtle minerality that awaits further development; the
palate shows full-volumed, with tangy fruit and an energetic progression into a lengthy, superb finish. In
addition to the Brut that is once again delicious, a new sparkler appears, Cuvée Augusto, outstanding for its
vigour and verve.”

“Equally fine showing for Klanis ’11, with its aromas of earth, tanned leather, and animal fur conjoined to
cherry preserves and subtle spice. Beefy on the palate, with expressive tannins, tasty fruit, a fine
development, and long-lingering finish. Delicious too is Syrah Selverello ’13, nicely fruity with emphatic black
pepper notes, supple and relaxed in the mouth, and with a perfectly-crafted acidity.”

Wine Enthusiast, June 2014
Corte Giacobbe 2012
85/100
It starts with aromas of yellow flower and a hint of exotic fruit. The fruity palate offers sweet peach, banana
and a hint of bitter almond. Pair this with light first courses like pasta topped with vegetables. — K.O.
Vigneto Runcata 2012
85/100
Aged in large casks, this opens with aromas of toast, oak, and espresso. The palate offers fleeting Golden
Delicous apple and citrus along with more persistent toasted oak sensations. Overall it lacks the fruit
richness needed to support the evident wood influence. — K.O.
Wine Spectator, April 2014
Klanis 2009
89/100
A bright version, exhibiting raspberry, black currant and subtle bacon fat flavors. Lean and taut, with a firm,
spicy finish.
Decanter, February 2014
Vigneto Runcata 2011
91/100
TOP 10 SOAVE!
Pure Garganega vinified in large botti, with three pickings from the same vineyard so a range of ripeness to
add further complexity. A touch of oak on both nose and palate, with dry honeyed fruit and firm mineral
notes. The oak is very nicely integrated.
Wine Spectator, January 2014
Vigneto Runcata 2011
89/100
Licorice and melon ball notes accent this tangy white, with a smoky, petrol-tinged undertow supporting the
flavors of poached apple, honey, sea salt and pastry. Drink now through 2017
Corte Giacobbe 2012
87/100
Light-bodied and tangy, with a smoky base note and bouncy flavours of poached peach, mandarin orange
and pickled ginger. Moderate finish.
