The Terredora di Paolo 2021 Irpinia Rosato Rosaenovae (with 12,000 bottles made) is a balanced wine with good freshness. It opens to a pretty pink color and reveals strawberry, tart redcurrant and aromas of light pastry cream. This production of 12,000 bottles offers a lean mouthfeel and the zesty fun to pair with fried zucchini flowers.

The Terredora di Paolo 2019 Irpinia Rosato Rosaenovae shows a simpatico character and lots of good cheer. The bouquet offers an informal mix of wild berry, pink grapefruit and bitter almond. This Aglianico-based rosé is vibrant and fresh and just perfect for an appetizer of fried calamari and artichoke hearts.

The 2018 Irpinia Rosato Rosaenovae is a simple and stripped-down expression with some olive-like or medicinal aromas. You also get tangy fruit, sour cranberry and white cherry. Pair this lean-bodied Rosato with smoked salmon paté spread over toasted bread.

Wow. This wine shows a delightfully pale pink color that makes it irresistibly attractive in appearance. The 2016 Irpinia Rosato Rosaenovae is a rosé expression of Aglianico that shows elegance and grace. The bouquet is subtle, with distant but flirtatious notes of wild berry, dried mint and crushed mineral. This rosato is refreshing and bright down to its core. Granted, my score is perhaps based more on the visceral impact of the wine's appearance, but I feel happily satisfied regardless.

I am happily impressed by the 2014 Irpinia Rosaenovae. This brilliant rosato opens to a pale pink color and golden highlights. The bouquet is subtle and fragrant with cranberry, raspberry and citrus blossom. The mouthfeel is especially tonic and clean with a good dose of fresh acidity that keeps it interesting. I paired this with an avocado salad and it worked perfectly.
