• Score: 89 Vintage 2020 Vinous Media Crushed ashen stone, black currants and rosemary notes waft up from the 2020 Aglianico. It's soft and round with a pleasant inner sweetness up front, quickly contrasted by a citrus-tinged acidity and a salty core of minerality. Inner earth tones and sour blackberry linger as the 2020 finishes with decent length and lightly structured. This is an impressive showing from this entry-level Campania Aglianico.

• Score: 88 Vintage 2020 Wine Advocate This is a soft expression of Campania's mighty red grape with easy-drinking appeal. To pair on take-out pizza night, the Terredora di Paolo 2020 Aglianico (with 90,000 bottles made) shows dark cherry, boysenberry and scorched earth. Only made in stainless steel, this is a fresh and rather naked expression of the grape. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

It’s soft in feel with a pure and lifted display of black fruits and minerals. This finishes clean and fresh, with just a gentle tug of tannin that frames the expression nicely. The 2019 will perform best at the dinner table, where its floral bouquet and vibrant acidity will shine the brightest. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
