2023 Stefano Lubiana 'La Roccia' Pinot Noir 750ml

⭐ Awards and Ratings

98 / 100 – James Suckling (2023 vintage)
“Intense, perfumed aromas of dark cherries, raspberries and dried roses with black tea, crushed rocks and sandalwood. The powerful, tightly wound palate has bright acidity and firm tannins, showing pomegranate, blood oranges and pencil shavings yet with a subtle, earth-driven finish. Long, mineral and age-worthy. Excellent. One of the finest pinots in the new world.”
