Alois Campole Campania Aglianico 2019

90 Points Vinous
The 2019 Aglianico Campole is spicy from the first tilt of the glass as a burst of crushed ashen stone combines with ground ginger, savory herbs and black currants. It’s silky-smooth and round on the palate with a brisk acidity that motivates its ripe blackberry and balsamic spice notes. The 2019 finishes unexpectedly fresh and focused, only gently tannic. Red plum traces slowly fade.

90 Points Wine Advocate
The Alois 2019 Campole is a pure expression of Aglianico with a very enriched and relatively soft character considering the celebrated tannins and structure of this powerful variety. The wine opens to a darkly concentrated appearance and sweet tones of baked cherry, candied almond and even a hint of orange peel. There is candied violet or lilac as well. The mouthfeel is medium-rich, and there is pretty acidity on the close. Production is 20,000 bottles.

Wine Notes
A rustic Aglianico with roughened chewy flavors of dark plums and wild herbs combine food-welcoming acidity. A dust-laden finish commands the palate making this a wine ideal for fans of Italian country wine. Alc. 13%.
