Terra di Lavoro 2003 150cl

Fattoria Galardi is family-owned by an ambitious group of cousins, Maria Luisa Murena, Arturo and Dora Celentano and Francesco Catello. They are all dedicated to making the highest quality wine, even if that means only producing one label. Situated on the volcanic slopes of Campania, the vineyards are perched among chestnut groves at 400 meters above-sea-level. The vineyards benefits from Mediterranean Sea breezes and great amounts of sun exposure, but the terroir is not always cooperative. Their single production, icon wine, Terra di Lavoro amusingly translates to Land of Work, which reflects the challenges of cultivating among these extreme conditions and rocky soils. This is known as Campania's first great cult wine, it was originally released in 1994 and has continued to charm and allure wine enthusiasts ever since. Consulting winemaker Riccardo Cotarella, has left an indelible impression on both the Galardi winery, and the region as a whole – redefining the Campania vinification style.
