2011 | Galardi | Terra di Lavoro

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.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From a hot vintage, the 2011 Roccamonfina Terra di Lavoro is a soft, round wine with a large presence of dark cherry fruit and blackberry. This wine has broader shoulders compared to 2010 and 2012. Dark fruit, prune, plum and dried cherry lift heavily from the bouquet. Those more obvious aromas are followed by ethereal touches of ash, licorice and plenty of balsam herb. The wine's volcanic personality shines through, although with slightly less intensity. This edition of Terra di Lavoro shows soft tannins and a long finish. It's a beautiful wine that reflects the warm year.

• James Suckling: Complex aromas of blackberry, stones, cracked black pepper and tar. Full body with soft, round tannins and a juicy, fruity finish. Soulful and refined from this estate. This is a magical wine from Southern Italy.

Producer Information

Galardi is a winery located in Italy in northwestern Campania, established in 1991. It makes a single wine under the Roccamonfina IGT, Terra di Lavoro, from the native varieties Aglianico and Piedirosso. The estate is made up of around 10 hectares (25 acres) of hillside vineyards with volcanic soils. These vineyards are about 1300ft (400m) above sea level and are planted solely to Aglianico and Piedirosso. Yields at the estate are low – only a couple of thousand bottles of Terra di Lavoro are produced annually. Terra di Lavoro, meaning Land of Work, relates to the challenging cultivation of fruit from the estate's rocky soils. The wine is composed of 80 percent Aglianico and 20 percent Piedirosso and spends one year in new French oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
