Score: 91Vintage 2021Wine AdvocateFrom 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 TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2021Vinous MediaA 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 TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2020Wine AdvocateThe 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.

Score: 90Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe 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 TalkerFull Page Review
