A collection of flattering testimonies from lovers of our historic vineyard cuvee made from native grape varieties known in our terroir since the Middle Ages.

A Santa Maddalena among the best wines of my life (Carlo Macchi, 2020)

I am convinced that you will do great things but, in fact, you are already doing them! They just need to be discovered by those who can understand them.🍷 (F. Saverio Russo/italianwinelover, 2020, about the young generation of winemakers)

Extraordinary, silky, you can already smell it. Medium body, but in the mouth it is a paradise (Lucio Boveri, 2020)

Quality for price bomb. You can put this wine into your cellar for +20y, it drinks best on a hot summer evening with some pasta. (Patrik Minuscoli, 2020)

A resinous breath of the south – autumn hike through a sun-warmed pine forest – ideal on a winter Sunday afternoon to remind you of sun and warmth (Ueli Engler, 2020)

Full and velvety on the palate, pomegranate coloured shimmer for the eye! Simply perfect Magdalener – an all-rounder for duck to pasta! Thank you! (Katharina Mumm, 2019)

Wild strawberry, cherry, pomegranate, bright red fruit, juicy mouthwatering acid, fine tea like tannins (Asher Shasbo, 2019)

Unusual, for sure, but interesting … and a worthwhile exploration of a regional red you can’t really get anywhere else (Derek D, 2019)

All I can say this wine smells great and tastes great – with red meat and without. Definitely one of my favourite wines ever! (Steffen Schaefer, 2019)

Violet, roses and slightly herbal (juniper?) on the nose. Elegant wine with flavors of black currant, sour cherry, refreshing acidity and medium tannins and alcohol. Relatively long. Good value for money. Try with elegant game dishes. Deer carpaccio perhaps? Excellent now, but probably has 5-10 years aging potential (Tor Erik Tjonneland, 2019)

A discovery, it comes down very easily, without any complaints. Only with the feeling of wanting more. Refreshing, fruity, is excellent cost benefit (Belo Fortes, 2018)

Supple tannins, cherry, blackberry. Old world class of a a wine. … made me fall in love with the Dolomites (Scott Roberts, 2018)

Beautiful nose of strawberry, rose, cotton candy and a hint of black pepper. Light bodied and low acidity make it easy to drink. Very easy to pair as well (Maurizio Terzaghi, 2018)

Cherry, raspberry and wild berries as well as almonds, strong and with volume, yet elegant and finely integrated tannins, harmonious until the finale (Ansgar R, 2017)

It’s nice to read how this wine can continue to inspire enthusiasm in the 21st century and especially among young wine lovers. To many more such moments!
