Jeb Dunnuck (95)- "The 2022 Barbaresco Starderi Vursu is medium ruby in color. It has a deeper aromatic profile, with elegantly layered notes of incense, anise, black raspberries, and hints of campfire and woodsy earth. It has a broader feel on the palate, with ripe, expanding tannins, medium body, and a more earthy finish. It is a surprising wine with a more savory feel and will benefit from more time to soften its structure. Drink 2027-2040."
Vinous Media (95)- "The 2022 Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi is superb. Medium in body and translucent, with striking depth, the 2022 is seriously impressive. Bright red-toned fruit, rose petal, blood orange, mint and pomegranate soar out of the glass. The Starderi charms with its vertical build and total sense of finesse. It's a brilliant wine by any measure."
James Suckling (97)- "Top 100 Wines of Italy 2024 (#68) - Strawberry, peach and fresh pink rose aromas. Some hibiscus as well. Full-bodied and very layered with gorgeous tannins that are soft and creamy in texture yet compacted and focused. Best after 2028 but already so beautiful to taste."
