Terredora Di Paolo 2004 Pago dei Fusi Aglianico (Taurasi)
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.

Terredora Di Paolo 2005 Pago dei Fusi Aglianico (Taurasi)
Pago dei Fusi is an extremely mineral-driven wine that oozes with aromas of asphalt, wet river stone and crushed brimstone. There’s are touches of candied fruit and black licorice, with notes of tobacco and campfire ash on the close. The mouthfeel is very nice: long, polished, firmly tannic, astringent and elegant. Give this wine five more years in the cellar.

Terredora Di Paolo 2006 Pago dei Fusi Aglianico (Taurasi)
- $46
This shows unique characteristics that give it an elegant but powerful identity. The wine is aged for two years in oak, lending it an extra note of spice and round tannins. Volcanic soils render perfumed notes of blue flower and herb, and extracted richness remains at the core of this opulent wine.

Terredora Di Paolo 1999 Fatica Contadina Red (Taurasi)
- $49
A large, complex, forceful wine that requires time to show off. What starts out murky, heavy and clumsy becomes more lovable once it gets some air. Along the way come plum, chocolate and raisin characteristics, and as expected, hammer-time tannins. Very hard on the cheeks, but such is Taurasi.

Terredora Di Paolo 2003 Aglianico (Irpinia)
- $14
A young, chunky heavyweight is the only way to describe this black wine, which smells of fruitcake and herbs, and tastes of baked plums and chocolate. Rich and overflowing, and building to a tannic crescendo. One can see the mass appeal here.

Terredora Di Paolo 2003 Loggia Della Serra Greco (Greco di Tufo)
- $21
Heavily reduced citrus on the nose, with more piercing citrus and mango on the palate. Finishes racy but scouring. Some nuttiness and charm lurks below the spiked acidity, but you have to work to find it.
