Terredora 2001 Riserva CampoRe Aglianico (Taurasi)

Price $70

Here’s a modern, oak-driven Taurasi that puts an emphasis on spice and chocolate aromas, although the black cherry and blackberry preserves are evident in the background. This is a firm, solid and sophisticated wine that would pair with braised lamb in a truffle sauce. — M.L. (10/1/2008)

Terredora 1999 Terre di Dora White (Fiano di Avellino)

Price $20

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.

Terredora 2000 Fatica Contadina Aglianico (Taurasi)

Cellar Selection

Price $48

This is an intriguing and complex red with loads of minerality, black pepper, charred meat, earth and charcoal. But the fruit notes are in there, too: prunes and red, ripe cherry. The tannins are a bit nervous still and the wine should be cellared a few more years. — M.L. (10/1/2006)

Terredora 2006 CampoRe Riserva Aglianico (Taurasi)

Cellar Selection

Price $60

With all the qualities needed for long cellar time—structure, freshness and fruit integrity—this already shows its considerable pedigree. It delivers tobacco, leather, black fruit and a touch of dried herb on the finish. — M.L. (2/1/2013)

Terredora 2001 Fatica Contadina Aglianico (Taurasi)

Price $54

There’s an authentic touch of bitter cherry on the nose that is often associated with traditional Taurasi. Beyond that, you’ll find dark chocolate, spice, resin and dark cola. The wine has smooth, tamed tannins and is very food- friendly thanks to its bright acidity and firm structure. — M.L. (10/1/2008)

Terredora 2003 CampoRe Riserva Aglianico (Taurasi)

Well-aged and elegant, this proud Taurasi shows a very deep and sophisticated side. Aromas include cured meat, licorice, rum cake, dried herbs, cola and root beer. The freshness of the fruit is fading but the tannins are still firm, giving the wine a few more years of longevity. — M.L. (6/1/2011)

points

Terredora 2004 Aglianico (Taurasi)

A vein of pure elegance runs straight through this austere Taurasi and holds it together until the firm, tannic end. Along the way, it imparts tones of crushed black stone, resin, dark fruit, prune, cola and dark spice. Pair this wine with meat or aged cheese. — M.L. (6/1/2011)

Terredora 2002 Il Principio Aglianico (Irpinia)

Online Exclusive

Aged eight months in barrique, this powerhouse Aglianico from Campania delivers a rush of fresh berry fruit, chewy ripe blackberry and raspberry, forest floor, mushroom, stone and charcoal-like nuances. The mineral notes appear on the palate rendering a beautifully dry, almost dusty, quality. Not imported. — M.L. (10/1/2006)
