Wine ratings Luca Maroni:

100-point scheme: 

The wine ratings from Luca Maroni are based on a 100-point scheme. However, there is always a maximum given of 99 points on the ground that there is no such thing as a perfect 100-point wine. 

In his annual Annuario dei Migliori Vini Italiani, the wine critic assesses wines according to three categories:

First category: Consistency, in which colour and aroma intensity of the wines are evaluated.

Second category: Balance, which highlights the balance of aromatic components like  acidity, fruit and tannins.

Third category: Integrity, in which the wines are analysed according to varietal and origin characteristics.

For each of these three categories, Luca Maroni awards a maximum of 33 points, which, when added together, result in the decisive final score of maximum 99 points.

We are very proud, that Icardi received 2 times 96 points(!) and as well the other 7 awarded wines received 93 points or more.
