• 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: 92 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 Fiano di Avellino Campore bursts from the glass with a gorgeous blend of ginger-tinged apples and spices, complicated by crushed rocks and sage. This washes across the palate with a mineral-intense blend of savory pit fruits and herbs, enriched by hints of raw almond. A bump of residual acidity enlivens the finish—long and staining, with an air of custard and salty mineral tones that linger long. This is pure class. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 92 Vintage 2018 James Suckling Intense nose with a prominent leesy character to the lemon, white nuts, pie crust and a hint of orange blossom. A fiano with medium to full body, showing a sleek, creamy texture with hints of nuts and honey in the finish. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 91 Vintage 2018 Wine Spectator Fragrant, with hints of toast and vanilla, this offers a generous range of baked melon, hazelnut, honey and herb notes underscored by a rich, minerally streak of petrol and smoke. Well-cut and focused through the finish. Drink now through 2027. 1,100 cases made, 70 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 89 Vintage 2018 Wine Advocate This wine has now been bumped up to Riserva status. It ages on the fine lees in barrique and later finishes in the bottle for three years. That's a lot of fuss for a wine that is indeed nice but that does not have a huge leg up on the estate's entry-level Fiano. In fact, I prefer the Ex Cinere Resurgo series at half the price. The Terredora di Paolo 2018 Fiano di Avellino Riserva CampoRe lacks some of the inner energy we get in the other wine. This flatter approach focuses on creamy apple, green banana and pastry cream. Fruit is sourced from the oldest vines, and production is 6,000 bottles. 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
• Score: 92 Vintage 2016 Wine Spectator Lush notes of baked white peach, toasted hazelnut and lemon meringue pie are backed by a firm and well-meshed spine of acidity in this fragrant white. Medium-bodied and mouthwatering, with pretty accents of spice, chalk and lime blossom lingering on the finely-detailed finish. Drink now through 2026. 1,050 cases made, 50 cases imported.

• Score: 92 Vintage 2016 Wine Advocate The 2016 Fiano di Avellino CampoRe opens to a luminous golden color and bright aromas of lemon zest, bitter almond, garden herb and crushed stone. At the middle of it all is some cushiony fruit that resembles white peach and honeydew melon. This is a gorgeous Fiano di Avellino with a touch of age that comes off as candied fruit and ash. Sample it with a goat cheese appetizer. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 90 Vintage 2016 Vinous Media The 2016 Fiano di Avellino CampoRe is delicate and understated, wafting up with nuances of chamomile, almond paste and vanilla custard. It’s rich and pliant in feel, impressing with its inner floral perfumes and mix of ripe apricot and peach fruits. Juicy acidity maintains freshness and drive, as salty minerals linger along with a bitter hint of raw hazelnut. While quite enjoyable today, I wouldn’t hold the 2016 much longer in fear of its oak-influenced notes outweighing its fruit over time. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 89 Vintage 2016 Wine Enthusiast The nose is rather shy but eventually reveals white flower, cedar and citrus. Fermented in barriques, the firm, structured palate features Meyer lemon, yellow apple, coconut and coffee bean before finishing on a hint of chestnut honey and toasted nut.

• Score: 91 Vintage 2015 Wine Spectator An expressive version, medium-bodied and well-spiced, this knits bright acidity to a round, creamy profile of nectarine, blood orange peel, grilled nut and lime blossom. A tangy streak of saline drives the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2025. 1,083 cases made, 75 cases imported. –AN Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 88 Vintage 2015 Wine Enthusiast Toasted almond, acacia honey and pressed yellow flower aromas take shape in the glass. Lean and linear, the firm palate offers oak, vanilla, butterscotch, lemon and a honeyed note alongside bright acidity. KERIN O’KEEFE Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 91 Vintage 2013 Wine Advocate Here's a brief trip back in time. The Terredora di Paolo 2013 Fiano di Avellino CampoRe brings us back a few years and opens a wide window onto the aging potential of this versatile and popular white grape from Campania. The bouquet offers dried citrus and peach, but the wine is almost equally characterized by crushed stone and light dustings of ash. This vintage's more evolved state points to tangy aromas of dried ginger and powdered licorice. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
• Score: 92 Vintage 2008 James Suckling Very ripe fruit with black pepper, bark and some clove on the nose. Full-bodied with dense fruit that verges on being jammy, as well as cracked pepper. A little clumsy in the palate, but attractive all the same. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
