Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep, ruby red. On the nose, ample ripe cherries, sweet spices and plum with notes of tobacco, pepper and tar. Supple and silky on the palate, with concentrated texture mellowed into body richness.

Pairs well with hearty foods such as roasted or braised meats, game, ragout, and spicy dishes.

Professional Ratings

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is a wine of pedigree and depth. The 2009 Taurasi Pago dei Fusi is infused with darkness and lasting intensity that give it a distinctive touch. This is a highly polished and sophisticated Aglianico that opens to dark fruit nuances with spice, tar, licorice, campfire ash and crushed granite. The aromas peel back in thick layers and just keep on going. The bouquet offers the best of slightly evolved Taurasi. The wine is elegant and firm in terms of mouthfeel with silky tannins and balanced acidity.
92 Wine Spectator
Abundant floral, spice and herb notes lead the way for this bright, aromatic red, with a streak of minerality underscoring the black cherry coulis and raspberry fruit, accented by licorice and bresaola notes. Expressive yet still very elegant and well-knit, presenting a lasting, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2026. 2,000 cases made.
90 Wine Enthusiast
This opens with aromas of ripe black plum, tilled soil, blue flower, leather and game. The palate is still very tight but offers black cherry and bitter prune accented by notes of black pepper, clove, graphite and nutmeg. It’s all supported by a backbone of assertive tannins. Drink after 2019.

Terredora di Paolo

View all products

"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.

Italian Red Wine

While picturesque hillsides, endless coastlines and a favorable climate serve to unify the grape-growing culture of this country. The apparent never-ending world of indigenous grape varieties gives Italy an unexampled charm and allure for its red wines. From the steep inclines of the Alps to the sprawling, warm, coastal plains of the south, red grape varieties thrive throughout.

The kings of Italy, wines like Barolo and Barbaresco (made of Nebbiolo), and Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino (made of Sangiovese), as well as Amarone (mostly Corvina), play center stage for the most lauded, collected and cellar-worthy reds. Less popular but entirely deserving of as much praise are the wines made from Aglianico, Sagrantino and Nerello Mascalese.

For those accustomed to drinking New World reds, the south is the place to start. Grapes like Negroamaro or Primitvo from Puglia and Nero d’Avola from Sicily make soft, ammicable, full-bodied, fruit-dominant wines. Curious palates should be on the lookout for Cannonau (Grenache), Lagrein, Teroldego, Ruché, Freisa, Cesanese, Schiopettino, Rossese and Gaglioppo to name a few.
