Tasting Notes

"The 2007 Terra di Lavoro emerges from the glass with an array of floral red fruit, spices, berries and minerals. It is an especially forward, opulent Terra di Lavoro bursting with exuberance. There is something viscerally thrilling about the 2007, perhaps because Terra di Lavoro is typically so reticent when it is young. Not here. This is an open, wonderfully expressive vintage. The only thing left to wonder is if the wine will ever shut down in bottle. For now, readers who want to understand what makes Terra di Lavoro such a pedigreed wine may want to start here. Readers who prefer a firmer style will likely gravitate towards the 2006 or 2008, but this is a flat-out great bottle of wine with an explosive personality that carries through to the long, intensely satisfying finish. In 2007 the weather was consistently hot, but the 2007 doesn’t show the jamminess of the 2003 nor the sheer power of the 2001. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032."

The Producer

Galardi

Galardi, a family-owned estate, stands out in a league of its own. It was founded in 1991, and they specialize in crafting a single wine of almost unparalleled perfection. Situated in an idyllic location characterized by volcanic, sloping soils in the northwestern part of Italy's Campania region, Galardi benefits from the influence of the Mediterranean Ocean's breezes and the exceptional soil composition, which makes the cultivation of native grape varieties like Aglianico and Piedirosso almost second nature. While these unique soils impart distinctive flavours to the wine, they also result in incredibly low yields. As a result, only a few thousand bottles of Galardi's flagship wine, Terra di Lavoro, are produced each year, causing both its quality and price to soar.
