TERREDORA DI PAOLO

Terredora Di Paolo is one of the most representative wine producers of the Southern Italy, with more over then 180 hectares in property, in Irpinia, the inland part of Campania.
The vineyards are located in the most vocated area; the soil is calcareous clay mixed volcanic powders; the altitudes of vineyards are high as well as microclimate is cool-temperate, atypical for the South.
The time seems to be far off when Walter Mastroberardino and his wife, Dora Di Paolo, in 1978, bought their small country estate, less 10 hectares.
At the same time, the experience and the prestige of Terredora take roots in an ancient tradition that dates back even before; in fact, Walter Mastroberardino was born, in 1933, in one of the most famous family in Italy, involved in the wine producing since the end of Eighteen Century.
The re-discovery of autochthonous grapes of Campania, as Aglianico, Fiano, Falanghina and Greco di Tufo, so historical to remember Roman Times, plotted the course for Viticulture Renaissance of this extraordinary county.
When in 1994 Mastroberardino family split up, Walter with his sons: Daniela, Paolo and Lucio, chose to spotlight the centrality of the vineyard (now 180 hectares), giving origin to a forefront reality which unify tradition and modernity.
From the beginning Terredora decided to vinify and bottle the family production enhancing the own grapes. Therefore, a new and modern winery was built in Montefusco, pretty and historical town, become now one of the best place of Irpinia wine production area, the heart of the Campania excellence.
Although Terredora Di Paolo wines often get high scores and awards by authoritative wine critics, the truly Terredora pride is to keep alive this family authentic tradition in a modern style, giving voice and value to different terroir and never forgetting the respect for environment.
