About the wine
About the wine
This is true great red wine, made from 805 Aglianico and 20% Piedirosso
by Galardi, a very tiny producer from Campania. This wine is probably
the biggest cultwine in Italy. Very much saught after and a true
masterpiece. A must for every serious connoisseur and collector.
Terra di Lavoro was firstly made in the beginning of the 90's by three
cousins. The wine was immediately a big hit and since Robert Parker
discovered this gem from Campania, the world went crazy for this wine.
Robert Parker never scored this wine less than 95 points which is
remarkable effort from this tiny estate.
Pairs very well with roasted meat and game.
Drinktemperature is 16-18° C.
Drink until 20-30 years after the year of production.
About the
producer
From the volcanic slopes in Campania, this little estate is a recent
phenomenon. Like the other cult wine of Campania, Imparato
Montevetrano, the estate only produces one wine which started out as a
hobby (for three cousins). With only 10,000 bottles released each year
everyone is scrambling to buy. The Galardi winery is set among
magnificent chestnut groves in the high hills of Sessa Aurunca, in
northwestern Campania, and on a clear day the Mediterranean can be seen
in the distance. The family-owned estate, run with the help of Riccardo
Cotarella, produces just one wonderful wine: Terra di Lavoro which is
highly saught after
