Tasting notes
The 2010 Fiano di Avellino Terre di Dora is the richest and roundest of these 2010 whites, a vintage in which the wines are decidedly on the mineral side. Juicy apricots and peaches dominate the flavor profile, while some of the more exotic notes that are typical of Fiano take a little time in the glass to develop. This is a rich, textured Fiano with gorgeous density. While delicious today, I would be tempted to cellar a few bottles to see what develops.

Terredora Di Paolo is one of the leading estates in Campania. This is a superb set of releases, with many excellent choices at all price ranges. Unfortunately I was not able to taste the 2009 Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Rosso or the 2005 Taurasi Campore, as the estate thought those wines needed further bottle age.
