This full-bodied, fat Aglianico is gorgeous and pure in its expression of smoke, tar, dark cherries, spices, leather and tobacco. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019. Terredora is a relatively young property founded in 1994 by Walter Mastroberardino and his family. The estate farms over 150 hectares of vineyards in Campania, making it one of the larger. producers in the region. The top wines are rich, flavorful and loaded with character.

Sturdy and spicy, with plum, leather and mineral on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, with lots of velvety, fruit-coated tannins and a long, spicy finish. Taurasi as it should be. This is nice now, but will cellar for a few years. Drink now through 2011. 1,500 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / South / Taurasi Select to Add
