Fattoria Galardi - Terra di Lavoro 2003 (3L)

Grapes: Aglianico 80% and 20% Piedirosso 2003 was a hot year. The Terra di Lavoro comes with a powerful fruit that only the high tannins and mineral manages to balance. The tasting begins with the visual sensations which this year features a chromatic aspect decided that it shines with a ruby garnet thin brushstrokes. Even the texture of the wine glycerine is appreciable in view. A unique wine in its unique identity. All nose perceives a dense block Nose: alcohol and fruit, in which we find hints of blackberry, blueberry, cherry, jam berries with spicy liquorice white pepper, tobacco brown rhubarb. All on a continuous and persistent tissue mineral graphite, which some read as tar or other smoked intense. On the palate, we find the land, the forests that surround the vineyards, volcanic soil on which the vines are grown, and a softness which corresponds to an explosion of soft tannins and a tight and perfectly balanced acidity. The palate is concentrated, refined, fleshy, round, with balsamic notes and a lugo interminable final resin and cocoa. The 2003 Terra di Lavoro is soft but complex, demonstrate the desire to rest in the cellar to taste, more mature, in a few years. To match with red meats, game and also, as we particularly like with cheese as tasty as "provolone monaco" Now, if you're lucky enough to find it!
