Winery - Terredora
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Beautifully rich and saturated, this is a creamy white wine with thick aromas of honeysuckle, pear, cantaloupe melon and Golden Delicious apple. Made from Greco di Tufo, the wine glides with dense smoothness over the palate.

Although those superfirm tannins do pop up on the end, this is a relatively smooth and fruit-forward expression of the austere Aglianico variety. Blackberry and maraschino cherry is surrounded by a drying aromatic embroidery of mineral and powdered spice.

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.

This luminous Lacryma Christi opens with bright aromas of citrus, pear, stone fruit and shows slight hints of vanilla and pine nut as well. It sits tight on the palate thanks to its crispness and tonic firmness.

Slightly muddled at first, this wine needs a few minutes to open in the glass. It slowly reveals aromas of dark spice, prune and plum. In the mouth there are sour cherry flavors and tight tannins.

Hints of smoke and herb accent this wine’s bright strawberry-rhubarb aromatics. Red berries and milk chocolate then take over and dominate the palate, which features a textured, grainy mouthfeel. Finishes long, with soft, ripe tannins. Best Buy.

This is an interesting but not perfectly balanced rosé from the celebrated Irpinia area of Campania in southern Italy. The nose of this pretty, pale pink wine opens with sweet aromas of berries and roses. But the mouthfeel shows sharp sourness.

A slam-dunk to have with tonight’s lasagna. It’s loaded with black fruit and spices, both on the nose and on the palate. Medium-bodied and well balanced, the finish is delightfully long.

This classic example comes from a cru vineyard called Terre di Dora, which is named after the Mastroberardinos’ mother. They should all be proud of this one. Wet stones, apples, peaches and pears start it off. On the palate, the structure and mouthfeel are nearly perfect. The finish features the butterscotch tones of malolactic fermentation. A wonderful example of what Fiano di Avellino can be.

The brilliant deep-ruby color is a harbinger of things to come. The aromas are cherry, spice and a not unpleasant small amount of Bret. The palate feel is good and the finish long. The tannins just need a little time to soften. This should be perfect by 2002.
