Terra di Lavoro Galardi 2016 is a blend of Aglianico and Piedirosso sourced from the volcanic slopes of Roccamonfina in Campania. This vintage benefits from the estate`s high-altitude vineyards, which are characterised by rich volcanic soils that contribute a distinct mineral quality. The wine exhibits complexity with notes of dark fruit and minerals, shaped by the structural integrity and age of the vines, some over 40 years old. The winemaking approach prioritises low yields and careful selection of fruit, resulting in a wine that is both robust and refined, capable of significant ageing.

Cabernet Sauvignon is not in the blend, but the aromas in the 2016 Terra di Lavoro are very similar to what you would get with that grape, with bright notes of green pepper corn with blackberry and exotic spice. The declared blend is 80% Aglianico and 20% Piedirosso. This is a balanced vintage with lots of depth, precision and density. This is a beautifully made wine. For sure, I am not the first to say that the wine is more characteristic of a house style, a Bordeaux-inspired house style, rather than a territorial expression of Campania. In truth, I`d say that this wine has feet in both those words. I recommend waiting at least five more years before drinking this vintage. Some 30,000 bottles were made. - Monica Larner
