About the Producer:
From the volcanic
slopes in Campania, this little estate is a recent phenomenon.
Like the other cult wine of Campania, Imparato
Montevetrano,
the estate only produces one wine which started out as a hobby
(for
three cousins). With only 10,000 bottles released each year everyone
is scrambling to buy.
The Galardi winery is set among magnificent chestnut groves in the
high hills of Sessa Aurunca, in northwestern Campania, and on a
clear
day the Mediterranean can be seen in the distance. The family-owned
estate, run with the help of Riccardo Cotarella, produces just one
wonderful wine: Terra di Lavoro. From the estate’s vineyards
come deeply concentrated aglianico, piedirosso, and other grapes
such
as cabernet sauvignon that are used to make this lone wine (with
80% of the blend coming from aglianico, the nebbiolo of the South).
This
is a black, brooding, long-aging red – one of the south’s
very best wines.
