The three Seal and the magnificent seven
Beginning this year, we introduced a novelty to our Essential Guide to better underscore the hierarchy of our evaluations; two and three seal (faccini – small faces), my personal hedcut image. It will be interesting to see if anyone will accuse me of copying. In reality, giving two seals to 26 wines that obtained at least a 98/100-point rating in our Essential Guide to Italian Wine 2020 and three seal to the only seven wines with 99 and even 100 points seems to be to be appropriate to further underscore our quality pyramid. The “magnificent seven” are extraordinary wines. You will not find Yul Brenner nor Steve McQueen but Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo 2016 Gaja, Amarone della Valpolicella Vigneto di Monte Lodoletta 2013 Romano Dal Forno with a 100/100 rating.
