In 2004, when the same recognition went to the 2001 Torre Testa, the guide stated that Tenute Rubino is 'one of the  fine wineries emerging onto the scene of  modern Apulian oenology. Although very young, Tenute Rubino has been able to make great strides, achieving excellence with remarkable speed .... The average quality level is high, their wines are  rich and pleasant and are rightfully giving considerable commercial success".

2005 was a year of splendor: "Tenute Rubino is one of the leading companies in Apulian production with wines of undoubted value.

In the 2009 edition of the guide, the 2006 Torre Testa was awarded with the 5 Grappoli: "Elegant and full. Alternating sensations of black cherry in  spirit to rose petals, balsamic tones of eucalyptus, mint and chocolate candy with liquor flavour.
