Campania’s rich viticultural tradition stretches back to Roman times, when it produced what were considered the finest wines of the Roman Empire. One of Campania’s superstar estates, the Terredora di Paolo estate, is leading the region’s renaissance with thrilling wines that honor Campania’s traditional varietals and expressions of the land while offering modern purity and refinement. Aglianico, southern Italy’s most noble grape, achieves the glory worthy of its legend on Campania’s finest volcanic slopes. Opening with an opaque rusty ruby color, Terredora’s Aglianico opens with deep aromas of plums, cassis, brown spices, and a piquant, volcanic soil signature. On the palate, spicy expressions of red plums and currants fuse with impressions of blond tobacco, bitter herbs, gentian, baker’s chocolate, and bay leaf. The long, soil-driven finish allows the wine’s fruit expressions to merge seamlessly into its firm tannic structure and riveting undercurrent of smoky volcanic soil. Fantastic with pasta tossed with sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts, rich lasagna, grilled eggplant, and roast lamb or goat. Enjoy now or over the coming five years.
