Wine Advocate / A. Galloni i august 2008:
"I can’t think of too many properties that have made such huge strides in quality as Sottimano has. Recent bottles of the 2001 and 2004 Barbaresco Pajore revealed an enormous leap in elegance and finesse. Fortunately, Sottimano’s entry-level wines are every bit as delicious as their Barbarescos, so readers won’t need to mortgage the house to drink great wines from this producer. I know I am starting to sound like a broken record, but these are truly exceptional wines at this level, or any level for that matter."
90 points 2007 Dolcetto "Bric del Salto": "...the essence of first-rate Dolcetto"
90 points 2007 Mate (Brachetto): "...drop-dead stunning..."
90 points 2006 Langhe Nebbiolo: "...a wine that would give many producers’ Barbarescos a run for their money, Sottimano’s Langhe Nebbiolo is a first-class effort in every way. It is one of the most compelling values in wine today. Simply put, it is awesome."
