“Terra di Lavoro” by Galardi is a flagship red from Southern Italy, a masterful blend of Aglianico and Piedirosso that captures the soul of Campania’s volcanic terroir. Aged for 12 months in new French oak barriques, it delivers exceptional structure, elegance, and aging potential. Widely acclaimed by international and national critics, it has often been hailed as Italy’s best wine. The nose reveals a rich aromatic profile: red berries, balsamic resin, spice, and herbal nuances, anchored by a distinct mineral core. On the palate, it’s deep and powerful, with firm tannins and an impressively long finish. A meditative red, perfect with bold dishes and worthy of cellaring.
