CRITICAL REVIEWS:

VINI D’ITALIA 2007 - GAMBERO ROSSO – SLOW FOOD
“La Striscia repeats the fine performances of the last few years with a new, impressive edition, 2004, of “OCCHINI.” Largely sangiovese with a dollop of merlot, it offers spices, dried plum jam, and blackberries on the nose, then a splendid body, with emphatic tannins and a tangy acidity….”
