96 pts Vinous

Crushed black raspberries, grilled sage, ash, licorice and dusty earth smolder up from the 2020 Taurasi Riserva Grand Cru Luigi Moio. This displays supreme elegance, rich and velvety yet cool-toned and fresh, as violet-laced wild berry fruits meet autumnal spice and zesty acidity. Hints of cocoa add a pleasantly bitter tinge to notes of plum sauce and sweet tannins on the long, youthfully tense conclusion.    By Eric Guido, August 2026

The 2020 Riserva Grand Cru Luigi Moio is fleshier and more fruit-driven, with sweeter tannins, but it retains excellent balance. Quintodecimo did not produce Taurasi from the difficult 2023 season.
