The 2018 Ghemme Ai Livelli is a dense, potent wine. Black cherry, spice, leather, menthol, game and incense add to an impression of brooding intensity. This rustic, burly Ghemme offers tons of punch and character, but it is marked by slightly elevated alcohol, searing tannins and oxidative overtones. In spite of that, it’s still a very good wine, which just shows the potential here. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024)

The 2019 Ghemme Dei Mazzoni is gracious and delicate, especially within the context of the appellation. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, dried flowers and orange peel build effortlessly. This silky, mid-weight Ghemme is vivid and super inviting. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024)

2016 is low aroma vintage, but the color is exceptionally vibrant and the structure highly ordered and organized. Bit static but not dull because of its authentic character and strength. — 6 years ago
