Score 90/100 · Drink 2013-2019, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2008

The 2004 Sassontino is made in a similarly intense style, but it possesses a more layered expression of fruit. The wine took quite a bit of time top open in the glass, yet it offers outstanding potential. There isn't a whole lot of Sangiovese typiciaty here, but this is very pretty wine nonetheless.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2011-2019, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Jun 2008

The 2004 Sassontino is made in a similarly intense style, but it possesses a more layered expression of fruit. The wine took quite a bit of time to open in the glass, yet it offers outstanding potential. There isn’t a whole lot of Sangiovese typicity here, but this is very pretty wine nonetheless. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2019. Giorgio Rivetti’s Tuscan wines continue to show improvement. Interestingly, Rivetti prefers medium-sized barrels for his Tuscan wines as he found the smaller 225-liter barrels didn’t allow his Sangiovese-based wines to express the full breadth of their qualities.
