Terredora di Paolo - Taurasi 'Pago Dei Fusi' 2012

From a rich and ancient tradition, the passion that animates the present" Terredora Di Paolo is a continuation of the ancient story of Campania, its people and their passion for their land and their winemaking. For us the land is central to our family. It represents our soul and the driving force behind the winery, which is why, year after year, we consider the harvest our greatest treasure. TERREDORA DI PAOLO has been on the forefront of the wine renaissance in Campania since 1978. This is a region that was famous for producing the best wines of the Roman Empire and Terredora Di Paolo is committed to re-establishing it to its former glory. They have been instrumental in reintroducing ancient grape varieties, promoting modern innovation and training the men and women who will be responsible for carrying their vision into the future. Today, with more than 120 hectares of vineyard land, Terredora Di Paolo is Campania’s largest wine producer and vineyard owner, with a worldwide reputation for the quality of its wines. Their commitment to excellence was proven in 1994 when they decided to vinify their own grapes. This decision was prompted by their belief that great wine comes from the balance of natural resources: terrain, varieties used, climate and man’s ability to work with nature.

"This is the top-shelf red from Terredora di Paolo and certainly its most late-term release. From a hot and dry vintage, the 2012 Taurasi Pago dei Fusi is beautifully aged and drinking very nicely at the moment. I see no need to wait further. The bouquet revolves around dried cherry and plum, and there are integrated notes of savory smoke and spice. - 93 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
