90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Smoky notes of mesquite and teriyaki are blended nicely with delicate berry notes and a drying mineral feel. This is a classic and subdued Nebbiolo that would pair with veal scallopini enhanced by a drop of truffle oil. (Sep 2011)"
Two Glasses, Gambero Rosso: "Bovio began making wine in 1976 and the results have been increasingly convincing, thanks in no small part to the passionate commitment of cellar manager Walter Porasso... These Barolos have a classic style that foregrounds fruit over oak which is barely perceptible in the first few years in bottle. (2012)"

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "You’ll love the smoked bacon and bresaola notes that emerge at the top of this deep bouquet. At the back are notes of ripe fruit, black cherry, dusty mineral and exotic spice. The wine offers a tight and compact feel with a long, smooth finish. (Sep 2011)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$55 list] Gorgeous, knock-out aromas emerge from the 2007 Barbaresco Rabaja. Ripe, candied cherries, flowers and minerals emerge seamlessly in the glass, revealing gorgeous inner perfume. In 2007 the Rabaja possesses a touch more textural richness and body than is typically the case, but without abandoning what remains a classic, mid-weight style. This is a terrific showing from Cortese. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. (Dec 2010)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "There's a glimpse of fleshy black cherry and plum fruit before the aggressive tannins force this wine into shut-down mode. This stays dense and chewy through the finish, which echoes the black fruit and leaves a spicy impression. Best from 2015 through 2035. 600 cases imported. (11/30/11)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2007 Barolo Cannubi is easily the most elegant and refined of these 2007 Baroli from Damilano. It shows fabulous site character in its crushed rose petals, sweet red berries and spices. The vintage has given the Cannubi an extra measure of textural richness and body, without robbing it of what is a very classic aromatic and flavor profile. The Cannubi continues to gain volume in the glass, showing more and more fleshiness with time. The wine can be enjoyed now, but it will be even better in a few years once some of the baby fat drops off. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. (Oct 2011)"
92 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$90 list] From one of Italy’s greatest vineyard designations, this Cannubi Barolo shows all the beauty and elegance that makes Piedmont a wine region celebrated and envied around the world. The 2007 edition of the wine is particularly soft and ripe with plush cherry and pipe tobacco aromas followed by a smooth, velvety finish. (Sep 2011)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2007 Barolo Margheria is superb. The vintage has smoothed out some of the more angular contours this wine tends to show when young, while not overpowering what remains a structured expression of Nebbiolo. Sweet dark cherries, tar, smoke, flowers, licorice and saline notes wrap around a radiant, energetic finish supported by plenty of grip. This is a fabulous wine from Giampaolo Pira. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. (Oct 2011)"
92 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(aged in large oak barrels): Good dark red. Brooding, high-pitched aromas of blackberry, violet and menthol. Silky-sweet and rich on entry, then impressively intense in the middle, with penetrating dark fruit flavors offering excellent precision. Finishes very long and silky, with substantial ripe tannins and lovely lingering perfume. Seems sweeter and suaver than some past vintages of this wine. (Oct/Nov 2011)"
92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Don’t even think of drinking this wine sooner than ten years from now. Those tight, nervous tannins need time to slowly unwind and the wine presents beautiful aromas of cassis and red cherry that will evolve with aging. At the back of it all are steady tones of spicy tobacco and leather. (Sep 2011)"
