About this Item
Terredora (officially known as Terredora Di Paolo) is a wine producer based just outside the town of Montefusco, due east of Naples, in the Campania wine region of southern Italy. The estate was established in 1978 by the Mastroberardino family and subsequently divided between brothers Antonio and Walter Mastroberardino in 1993. A year later, Walter Mastroberardino founded the current incarnation of the family business, naming the estate Terredora Di Paolo after his wife Dora Di Paolo.

Critics Ratings
‘The 2004 Taurasi Pago dei Fusi is a single-vineyard wine that has previously not been available in the US. Hopefully that will change, as this is a rock-star wine. The Pago dei Fusi shows a touch more depth and inner sweetness than the regular bottling, but without abandoning what is essentially a classic style. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco, licorice and incense are woven together in a fabric of superb richness. The finish is long, precise and exceptionally pure, with crystalline, mineral notes that add freshness. This site, which was once under water, is rich in marine deposits that confer a beautiful sense of vibrancy to the wine. The integration of the oak is superb. Readers will not want to miss this gem! Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95+/100 (Jun 2010)
‘Pago dei Fusi is a distinctive wine that excels in terms of intensity and clarity. Elegant tones of tar, black fruit, tobacco, dark spice and rum cake appear immediately and slowly change form as the wine spends more time in the glass. Drying tannins make for a dramatic close.’ - Wine Enthusiast, 92/100 (Jun 2011)
