GALARDI TERRRA DI LAVORO, IGT 2006 GRABS 97 POINTS FROM ADVOCATE ON COUPON CODE SALE FOR $63.99 GET THESE WHILE QUANTITIES LAST WON'T BE FOR TOO LONG! THE STORY "Behind the Label this winery is run by an enthusiastic group of dedicated cousins, Maria Luisa Murena, Arturo and Dora Celentano, and Francesco Catello. The estate is firmly committed to making wine of the highest quality and has reaffirmed this commitment by hiring the distinguished oenologist, Riccardo Cotarella who shares their philosophy. Together they strive to maximize the intrinsic characteristics of the native grapes Aglianico and Piedirosso through attentive and careful vineyard management. The winery and surrounding hillside vineyards are located at approximately 1,300 feet above sea level and benefit of ideal growing conditions, such as climate and exposure. The name of their praised icon wine or "Land of Work" in Italian, reflects the soil composition in the area which is extremely rocky, thus difficult to cultivate. Yields and overall volume are very low; only a few thousand bottles are produced each year although the winery will have almost 30 acres under production in the future. The owners and Cotarella decided to focus on the native varietals Aglianico and Piedirosso." Galardi Terra Di Lavoro Igt 2005 The 2005 Terra di Lavoro is a beauty. This massively structured, imposing blend of 80% Aglianico and 20% Piedirosso bursts from the glass with a compelling array of smoke, ash, graphite, underbrush and black cherries. Layered, sweet and powerful, it reveals notable depth as well as persistence. While it is not profound as is the 2004, it will likely come around sooner. That is of course in relative terms given that Terra di Lavoro has proven to be a very slow-maturing wine. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025. Wine Advocate: 93 Regular Price: $134.99Coupon Code Price: $54.99 Bottle Size: 750 ml Galardi Terra Di Lavoro Igt 2006 Once again I am at a loss to capture the sheer beauty of Terra di Lavoro. The 2006 is a remarkably elegant and pure vintage of this wine, where layers of flowers, violets, graphite, tar, smoke and black cherries continually flow from the glass in a dazzling, virtuosic display of power and finesse that is stunning. The wine remains incredibly fresh and primary, with superb detail, especially considering its sheer size. Today the 2006 Terra di Lavoro comes across as surprisingly accessible, but long-time connoisseurs know better; there is plenty of structure underneath. Readers are advised to taste this wine within the next few months and then forget about it for a minimum of several years.
