Terra di Lavoro - Galardi 2019

Flat-out stunning, the 2019 Terra di Lavoro entices with a dramatic bouquet that blends wild blueberries with crushed violets, cloves, dried orange peels and a lovely whiff of sweet smoke. This is a model of elegance, velvety yet cool-toned in feel. A vibrant, acidic core keeps masses of ripe red and black fruits in constant play. Its tannins are chiseled, creating a crunchy sensation, and while structured for the long haul, the wine remains amazingly fresh and graceful. There's a level of refinement and balance here that tempts the imagination. The 2019 is not to be missed." Eric Guido Vinous Media 97 points Drink 2024-39
