Enjoyed the 2013 the other day. I notice Delectable mislabels this as Nerello Cappuccio.

Chris MacLean

@Max Kelly Ah, I didn't even notice that. I accepted as soon as I saw Rovitello.

Terredora di Paolo

Terre di Dora Fiano di Avellino 2014

Chris MacLean

9.1

I've always had good luck with this wine. There's some sweet fruit but it's balanced by good acidity and hints of smoky herbs. — 12 days ago

@Chris MacLean what’s the price point here? And is this relatively easy to locate?

Chris MacLean

@Dan White i paid 30$ a bottle in January '15, directly from the winery. But you can find it online I think for a bit more.
