Notes on the Producer
Since establishing Terredora in 1978, a key cornerstone was the rediscovering and restoration of Campania’s ancient and authochthon varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco and Falanghina. These grape varieties are the main characters that have brought about Campanian’s wine renaissance.
Innovation is just as vital a key and it is found throughout the winery, in the vineyards and the cellars. A team of experts at Terredora master the challenge of the future while binding it with traditions, bring to life a unique inheritance that combine culture and customs in a lively way.
With 200 hectares of privately owned vineyards in the best sites of the Avellino province, Terredora is one of the largest wineries in southern Italy.
In Irpinian, the wines exhibit a distinctive personality due in part to pedoclimate factors. The altitude at which the vineyards are found, the soil and the the thermal fluctuations develop wines that are intense and elegant and display complex bouquets.
