Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
James Suckling 92 Points | This wine has an austere profile. Subtle aromas of wet stones and grapefruit peel. The palate is restrained at the moment, serious, with a thin, marginal thread of fruit. It’s conservative, but with aging potential. Long and nervy. It’s made exclusively from vineyards planted inland, far from the ocean. Aged in a combination of 225- and 500-liter barrels. This undergoes partial malolactic fermentation. Better from 2025.
The Wine Advocate 92 Points | The 2022 Piorno feels a little riper than the Salicornia from this same very warm and dry year, when the grapes didn't lose the acidity given the lack of water. It has similar parameters, with 13% alcohol, slightly higher pH and lower acidity; but the fruit is yellow rather than white, and there are some spicy notes with hints of cereals and lees. This is another great vintage for this wine. Only 642 bottles were filled in March 2024 after the wine spent 15 months in the barrels where it matured and the rest of the time in stainless steel.
