This revered winery's story begins with a tale of two brothers - Walter and Antonio Mastroberardino -who parted ways, with Antonio acquiring the winery and Walter acquiring the vineyards (renamed as Terredora). The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia, surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, they rank among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. The South of Italy is one of the most interesting wine areas in the country, and Campania, and especially the Irpinia region, produces wines from native grape varieties such as aglianico, fiano, greco, piedirosso and falanghina, all of which are brimming with personality. Aglianico has been called the Barolo of the south for its power and its ability to age for many years. Today it is Walter's daughter, Daniela Mastroberardino, who oversees the winemaking duties and serves as the president of the Le Donne del Vino association- an organization supporting women in the wine industry in Italy.
750 mlThe Ex Cinere Resurgo label links stories of rebirth - the rebirth of territories as well as the people who produce Terredora wines. It is made with fiano grapes from selected plots in Terredora vineyards. The harmonious combination of altitude, exposure and microclimate of these hilly sites makes Ex Cinere Resurgo an elegant, pure expression of Fiano di Avellino. The style is almost sartorial and never ceases to be seductive, even with the passage of time, which, all the more, ensures a majestic character.
