Terra di Lavoro 2011 from Galardi is a highly sought-after red wine from the Campania region of Southern Italy. Galardi sources its grapes from high-altitude vineyards grown on volcanic soils near the Roccamonfina volcano. The estate focuses on traditional, low-intervention methods to express the unique mineral nature of the terroir. This wine displays a deep, dark profile, offering concentrated aromas of black cherry, balsamic reduction, liquorice and graphite. The palate is broad yet polished, showcasing structural power and dense, fine-grained tannins.

Vinous
Deep ruby. Powerful aromas of ripe dark plum, cherry-cola, graphite, sandalwood and spicy cocoa, with a sexy violet topnote. At once juicy and deeply pitched, offering rich red berry and dark cherry flavors complicated by smoky minerality and a hint of cocoa. Opens slowly and builds well with air, which bodes well for this wine's future. The long finish features chewy, mounting tannins and a floral quality. This wine should offer earlier accessibility than some past vintages of Terre di Lavoro, and the Aglianico also seems to shine through more here.Ian d'Agata1st September 2015
