    February 1, 2024 - The 2006 Fattoria Galardi Terra di Lavoro is a blend of Aglianico and Piedirosso grapes from the Campania region of Italy. It is a full-bodied, structured wine with a long aging potential.

    Appearance: The wine has a deep, dark ruby color with purple hues.

    Aroma: The nose is intense and complex, with notes of blackberries, plums, raspberries, dried herbs, tobacco, and leather.

    Palate: The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. The fruit is ripe and concentrated, with hints of spice and minerality.

    Overall: The 2006 Fattoria Galardi Terra di Lavoro is a powerful and elegant wine that is well-suited for aging. It would be a great match for grilled meats, roasted game, or aged cheeses.

    October 15, 2023 - This one threw me off because when first opened, it showed kind of like a California Syrah. But a few hours later, the big fruit calmed down and what presented was a medium plus bodied wine with very clean fruit (still reminiscent of Syrah in fruit profile), forward acidity, and interesting notes of smoke. I really liked this, and the only thing that let it down just a hair was a bit of a short finish. For the price, though, this is a value in cellar worthy wine.

    March 18, 2023 - From magnum. Drunk over a lasagna, no TN.
    Interesting that ABV was at 13%, and that the sense of power, which usually comes from this wine was somewhat restrained in this case, which I found a good thing. But to my taste this lacked acidity and a sense of energy, while it had good complexity. It is still young though, and I am sure that it can develop further.
