Winemaker Notes
Pronounced bouquet, complex with notes of cherry, wild berries, spicy scents of violet and tobacco with a mineral accent. Elegant, smooth, velvety and intense with characteristic hints of plums, black cherries, black pepper and tar; full-bodied and austere on the palate with balanced tannins and acidity. Pair roasted meats, game, spicy dishes, truffles, aged cheeses such as provolone, parmigiano or gorgonzola.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
You get great value for this dark and brooding red wine. The 2010 Taurasi Fatica Contadina is a full and generous expression of Aglianico with black fruit tones of plum and blackberry confit. That fruity core rests on background tones of spice, dark cinnamon, tar and smoke. The mouthfeel is long, polished and, perhaps, a touch softer compared to your classic Taurasi.

Wine Spectator
Chewy tannins lend firmness to this medium- to full-bodied red, with fresh, finely knit acidity, smoky minerality and layers of dried cherry, salumi, ground white pepper and fennel seed flavors. The tannins reemerge on the lasting, fragrant finish. Drink now through 2022.

"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.
