| SRP | 42 |
| Highest Score | 93, James Suckling |
|---|---|
| Highest Score Review Copy | Nuanced minerality chiselled to the ripe red berries, blood orange zest, savory plums and cherries. Medium to full body on the palate with a bone-dry, transparent middle and a tight, mineral coating of tannins. Fruity but pithy and precise, too. A joy to taste and drink already, but can hold well in the next five to eight years, if not more. |
| Feature Bullet 1 | Benchmark producer located in historic Vino Nobile DOCG, in northeast Montepulciano, situated in the south of Tuscany. |
| Feature Bullet 2 | Founded in 1962 by Egidio Corradi, now led by daughter Paola De Ferrari Corradi and her two sons, Luca and Nicolò de Ferrari Corradi. |
