91 Points Wine Advocate- “The 2004 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso is redolent of exotic juniper berry, menthol, cinnamon and medicinal herbs and a wild, gamy personality, all qualities typical of Refosco. There is an awful lot going on in the glass and this wine offers lovely palate presence as well as balance. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2014."
