Wine Press Ratings
94 Points (2013) - Falstaff
"Dark ruby red with a delicately lightening edge. Very ripe forest fruits on the nose, blackberries, plus rich cherry fruit, violets, mint. Polished on the palate and with great juiciness, comes in many layers, firm, in the aftertaste still minimal drying, can mature for a long time"
94 Points (2012) - Decanter
"After a relatively mild winter, the 2012 season was one of the driest of the past few years. Rains at the end of August and a good September balanced the vintage, which was relatively low in terms of yields. Ca Florian shows a relatively modern style, focused on filigree precision and displaying great definition of cherry fruit combined with bay leaf, myrtle and chocolate. The elegant finish arrives after almost-silky tannins and well-integrated zesty acidity.

90 Points (2012) - Wine Enthusiast
"Aromas of underbrush mingle with incense and camphor. The big, chewy palate offers mouthfuls of steeped prune and licorice alongside assertive, close-grained tannins that grip the close. Drink 20222027."
