Galardi

Terra di Lavoro is a wine that helped to put Campania on the enological fast track it enjoys today. This was Campania’s first great cult wine since its first year of production in 1994. It has since become a banner for the region.
- Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

The family-owned estate that is Galardi is unlike any other. Established in 1991, they produce just one wine, with near perfection, and are located in an ideal location with volcanic, sloping soils in the northwestern part of the Campania region of Italy. The influence of the Mediterranean Ocean’s breezes combined with the unique soil composition make the native grape varieties of Aglianico and Piedirosso a nearly instinctual process. Although the soils create unique flavors in the wine, they make for extremely low yields and only a couple thousand bottles of Galardi’s flagship, Terra di Lavoro, are bottled annually making the quality and price skyrocket.

Tasting Notes

WA97
The 2007 Roccamonfina Terra di Lavoro announces itself with a blast of smoke, ash, red berries, flowers and minerals, all of which come together in a heady, exotic expression of Aglianico and Piedirosso, two of Campania’s thoroughbred grapes. There is incredible clarity and nuance in the glass despite the wine's massive concentration. The 2007 is a very unusual Terra di Lavoro for its open, accessible personality and ripe, silky tannins, both of which are on full display. I am fairly certain the wine will shut down in bottle but today it is nothing short of glorious. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2032.
WS92
Dense and compact, offering sappy layers of ripe blackberry coulis, cassis and plum skin notes, which weave between hints of pine, tar and spice. Rich yet supple, with fine tannins on the long, ashy finish. Aglianico and Piedirosso. Drink now through 2022. 3,700 cases made.
