Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2014, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2008

The estate's top of the line 1999 Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore is made from Chardonnay sourced from the family's oldest vineyards. This richly-textured wine flows from the glass with finely knit layers of ripe fruit, smoke, minerals and spices. Medium in body, it offers outstanding length and refined, caressing finish. While the wine is delicious today, it will be even better in another year or two. Recent bottles of the 1996 have been superb.
