9.5

The 2019 Carema is a gorgeous, deep wine. It is also incredibly young to the point that the aromatics are quite closed. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, crushed rocks, rose petal and cinnamon struggle to emerge. There's plenty of intensity, especially for Carema, but readers will have to be patient. The 2019 needs a ton of time. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024)

9.3

Glimmering bright ruby color. The nose is poised delicately between fruit/flowers and more earthy, leathery tones. Palate has riper, almost sweeter, fruit profile than you’d expect. Succulent. Balanced nicely against the luxurious secondary flavors (tar, leather). Wonderfully lifted by tart fruit acids. Subtle tannins. Gorgeous. Tremendous value drinking 3x it’s price($32) — 4 years ago

Nice, dry white wine, like a vinho verde or a Chablis. Not as tropical/acidic as a Sauvingnon Blanc. Porch pounder. Had at the cutest little place in Rome amidst locals! Il Sorpasso. — 7 years ago

Had this in Rome at the cutest little bar, surrounded by Italians : D. Il Sorpasso by the Vatican. Fabulous wine! Not as harsh as a Nebbiolo. Smooth and medium bodied, medium dryness. — 7 years ago
