The “Terra di Lavoro” by Galardi is an iconic wine from Southern Italy, a refined blend of Aglianico and Piedirosso, a pure expression of the most authentic Campania. Aged for 12 months in new oak barrels, it is a red of extraordinary structure, elegance, and longevity. For years, it has been celebrated by international and national critics, repeatedly recognized as the best Italian wine overall. The bouquet is wide and enveloping: red berry fruits, balsamic notes of resin, spices, and vegetal accents, with the unmistakable mineral trace typical of the volcanic terroir. On the palate, it is deep, with firm tannins, and finishes with an exceptionally long persistence. A wine for contemplation, ideal for important dishes and memorable aging.
