Disappointed. I am trying to like it, I really am but there is a lingering aftertaste that I am finding off putting. Almost like sweet over ripe dark berries that are just about to get beyond their prime. I am astonished at the high ratings from several top wine critics but it’s my wine that I have to please. — 12 days ago

8.0

Undoubtedly, this wine was better 3-5 years ago. Aging has not been especially kind to it and it reflects in the thin, somewhat harsh palette of a wine that has lost its legs literally and figuratively. Gattinara is usually one of my favorite wines and have consumed my share over the years so know what to expect and this ain’t it. — 3 months ago

Very good Montelpuciano especially with my veal scallopini and porcini mushrooms. Still young but very flavorful and fresh with cherry and red fruit flavors going on. Good Italian food wine at a reasonable price. — a year ago

Mediocre at best. Very disappointing Pinot especially at the price point and region reputation. Hopefully never drink it again. — a year ago

My kind of wine! Absolutely delicious with or without food! Full bodied, lots of jammy fruit with no hint of sweetness, low tannins, and very drinkable right out of the bottle!! This is just an easy wine to drink without having to think about! Sometimes a wine just tastes right without having to evaluate anything and a Montelpuciano d’Abruzzo is one of my favorites but this particular one, hits all the notes!!! — 19 days ago

6.1

So much for the non alcoholic wine experience! Another highly recommended but absolutely awful attempt at non alcoholic wine! There’s absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to real wine other than color and even that is off. Sour, sweet, grape juice like but not even as good as bottled grape juice. Obviously, NA wine has a long way to go! — 4 months ago

This is excellent Pinot Noir that is absolutely true to the grape and the region in which it is produced. For a lesser price Oregon Pinot, this absolutely competes with many of the more expensive and well known producers products. Classic Pinot Noir nose, body and flavors with predominant cherry raspberry coming through nicely and even the color is right. Definitely better than most anything from California. I would definitely recommend and buy again! — a year ago

8.8

A very smooth and easy wine that is good for sipping or with food especially pasta with red sauce and meatballs. This wine is very deceptive as the nose suggests a lot of fruit but the taste is more gentle in a good way. Just pleasant drinking with no real shortcomings even though not particularly memorable either. Would recommend and buy again. — 24 days ago

6.1

Absolutely horrible! I am having to cut back on alcohol for health reasons and to prevent interactions with my medications but this stuff is undrinkable! It doesn’t even come close to resembling wine and it’s one of the highest rated non alcohol products available! I can’t even imagine how bad the other brands must be!! Never again!

9.3

What a lovely wine! The nose is a bit deceiving of what is coming upon the first sip and it just keeps getting better! Extremely smooth and the full flavors seem to be delayed and then just swell at the back of the throat and on the tongue. This is Tuscan wine that is truly “super Tucsan”! No wonder it has a solid 93 points across the board! — a year ago
