Southern Italy’s cult red. Terra di Lavoro is the only wine Galardi makes, from 80% Aglianico and 20% Piedirosso grown at about 500 meters on the slopes of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano, in mineral-rich black volcanic soil and cooled by sea breezes. It’s aged 12 months in French barriques (40% new) and 12 months in bottle before release. The 2021 is deep and powerful, with blackberry, dried violets, graphite, sage, cedar and dark chocolate, plus a firm, mineral frame. It’s built to cellar for decades, and a decant is a good idea now. Pair it with roast pork, braised meats, grilled steak or aged cheese.

"The 2020 Terra di Lavoro is a seductress, tempting the imagination
with a cascade of sweet lavender and rose offset by crushed stone,
savory spices, figs and plums. It sweeps across the palate with velvety
textures yet remains lifted and spry, as zesty acidity breathes life into
its core of tart wild berry fruits. Hints of blood orange add checkpinching tension toward the close. Tannic and nearly salty in character,
the 2020 maintains amazing energy despite its power and
concentration as a saturation of licorice and an almost smoky
sensation lingers on. The 2020 shows the warmth of the vintage while
maintaining a perfectly harmonious feel. I expect it will enjoy a long
and broad drinking window. Bravo.
