Winery:
Terredora
Since 1994, Terredora has solely vinified grapes from its private vineyards. This fundamental step was taken to guarantee the highest quality by controlling all aspects of the grape growing cycle. With vineyards in the best sites of the Avellino province, Terredora is one of the largest wineries in southern Italy. it is often being listed among the elite wine producers both in Italy and internationally. The wines exhibit a distinctive personality – intense and elegant - resulted from the vineyard’s unique altitude, soil and thermal fluctuations. Great care taken in the vineyards and cellars, together with the traditions of the wine culture, contribute to the outstanding quality of Terredora wines. Thanks to Lucio Mastoberardino in the May 2009 issue of Wine Spectator, the spotlight is once again on Terredora.
