94 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Aglianico del Vulture Damaschito opens slowly in the glass. It wafts up with a dusty blend of dried violets, lavender, smoked meats and ashen stones, giving way to musky black currants and grilled herbs. This is surprisingly energetic, with a stern mineral core and zesty wild berry fruits guided by vibrant acidity. Rosy inner florals form toward the close. The 2021 leaves a coating of fine tannins that tug at the senses, finishing dramatically long and staining with a resonant hit of licorice and tobacco. The Damaschito is an understated beauty. Drink: 2026-2040. (May 2024)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "There's a well-cut sense of poise to this structured red, with the frame of dense, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity interwoven with a fragrant range of chopped cherry, plum, dried thyme, paprika and white pepper notes. A latent push of iron- and tar-laced minerality drives the lingering finish. Drink now through 2036. 500 cases made, 250 cases imported. (3/31/25)"
