Score 94/100 · Drink 2028-2039, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2026
The 2021 Barolo Colonnello is a very beautiful, sensual wine. Floral overtones meld into a core of red-tinged fruit, pomegranate, blood orange, spice, iron and white pepper. The Colonnello offers a striking mix of aromatic depth and fruit intensity. I imagine it will drink well with just a few years in bottle.

Score 98/100 · James Suckling, Apr 2025
A restrained and elegant wine with aromas of citrus, leaves, dried cherries, orange peel and an enticing whiff of peppermint. The palate is graceful despite a full body, tense acidity and firm, muscular yet velvety tannins, but everything is well packed, poised and balanced. Long, lavish and bracing aftertaste. Try from 2027.
