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 mlAglianico is a grape that must be loved to the full and Pago dei Fusi is the full outcome of such love, stimulating knowledge of this variety, which, harvest after harvest, highlights the indissoluble bond between land, grape variety and human work. The harmonious combination of Aglianico grapes, soils and climate of the vineyards that dominate the hillsides on the left bank of the River Calore ensures that Pago dei Fusi achieves power and structure of exceptional elegance, complexity and longevity. The name of this wine refers to its place of origin and the great Roman tradition of the same name for rural districts, thereby celebrating the territory and the ancient splendour of the vine.
Tasting Notes: deep ruby red color with aromas of ripe cherries, sweet spices, plum, tobacco, pepper and tar. Supple and silky on the palate, with fine, ripe tannins, and a long fruity, spicy and toasty finish. A wine with a remarkable structure and excellent aging potential.
Food Pairings: all roast and braised meat, game, wild boar, meat sauce, fillet and rib-eye steaks, grilled lamb chops, game, spicy dishes, mushrooms, truffles and mature cheese, such as Provolone, Parmigiano Reggiano or Gorgonzola.
