Terra di Lavoro 2011 - Galardi

TERRA DI LAVORO 2011 2011 is a "purebred" Terra di Lavoro. Son of a splendid sunny year, hot enough to be harvested as early as the end of September. Very rainy winter, spring and early summer, then mild mid-June and mid-July. It rains even at the end of July then nothing more. The rain will be missing the entire August and September. The temperature rises in mid-August and will remain sultry until 25 September, resulting in an optimal temperature range with the inevitable night drop. The harvest starts on September 28th. The particularly dry course thickens the skins and dries the grapes, determining a sugar concentration that determines a slight anticipation of the harvest. This climatic condition produced a classic and successful Tera di Lavoro. The considerable thermal excursions have contributed to determine its elegance and balance. It is dark red, dense and veined, with a youthful expression contained on the most extreme nail. The scent is clear, balsamic, incisive and complex. It is revealed in its variants during the oxygenation in the glass. Each approach is the same and different. Long and lively, tasting never tires. Blueberry and sour cherry, a tongue of grass and white pepper. And even more in the variations, over time. The taste gives beautiful memories of the places: the woods, the volcano, the sun and the shade. In the mouth we find the balance between the soft tannins and the young acidity supported by the characteristic mineral sapidity. Long and harmonious finish between sensations of plum jam and herbaceous touches and a pleasant vinous sensation. The wine is pulpy, round and as always of interminable persistence.
