  • Score: 91 Vintage 2021 Wine Advocate From the series "rises from the ashes," the Terredora di Paolo 2021 Fiano di Avellino Ex Cinere Resurgo is true to the variety with poached pear, sweet apple, quince and crushed stone. This is the basic Fiano playlist, and this wine checks all the necessarily boxes. The finish is mildly creamy and textured while remaining very smooth. Some 90,000 bottles will make their debut on the market in fall 2022. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media A combination of both sweet and exotic spices, honeyed florals and young peach makes the 2021 Fiano Di Avellino Ex Cinere Resurgo impossible to ignore. It's silky-smooth yet more mineral in style, coming across as quite savory. A vivid lime hint cascades throughout. The 2020 leaves a lingering salty concentration, finishing with admirable length and crisply refreshing. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2020 Wine Advocate The Terredora di Paolo 2020 Fiano di Avellino Ex Cinere Resurgo starts off slowly, but once those wheels start turning, the wine reveals a full and generous bouquet with bergamot, citrus, white peach, crunchy pear and wet stone minerality. A second wave of aromas introduces floral elements of orange blossom and jasmine. This is an honest and well-made expression of Fiano offered over an ambitious production of 96,000 bottles.

  • Score: 90 Vintage 2020 Wine Enthusiast Aromas of hawthorn, white stone fruit and smoke form the nose. The smoky mineral note carries over to the palate along with ripe yellow pear, hazelnut and notes of chestnut honey and grapefruit. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 93 Vintage 2019 James Suckling Lots of pear, salt and green-apple aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, layered and very flavorful with creaminess and serious length. Layered and fascinating. Drink or hold. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 Fiano di Avellino Terre di Dora shows pretty dried flowers, incense and almond paste giving way to nuances of peach and mango. There’s a weight here that communicates importance, as its silky textures usher in mineral-tinged white stone fruits, zesty green citrus and exotic spices. It tapers off with persistence and a striking salty-savory character that lingers on. While gorgeous already, the 2019 will easily excel through short-term cellaring. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2019 Wine Spectator This bright and balanced white offers an appealing range of green melon, star fruit, orchard blossom and lemon thyme notes, underscored by smoke-laced minerality and mouthwatering acidity. Drink now. 13,000 cases made, 800 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

  • Score: 90 Vintage 2018 Wine Enthusiast Alluring aromas of Spanish broom, white stone fruits and wild herbs shape the nose. The linear, focused palate offers Reinette apple, pear, Meyer lemon and saline before a hazelnut finish. Crisp acidity keeps it vibrant. KERIN O’KEEFE Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 93 Vintage 2016 James Suckling Lots of blanched almonds, red apples and a touch of beeswax. It’s medium-bodied with a waxy texture and crisp acidity. More almonds and citrus pith on the palate lead to a long, focused finish. Hints of smoke and vanilla underneath it all. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
