The 2003 Terra Di Lavoro is a blend of Aglianico and Piedirosso, vines that have been coaxed into production along the steep, volcanic hillsides of northwestern Campania. Tasted blind, the aromatics are reminiscent of an aged Côte-Rôtie, with primal notes of moist earth, truffle, mushroom, game, smoke and bacon fat. The intensity on the nose suggests a fuller wine, but in reality Terra di Lavoro is medium bodied, with fine tannins and precise balance. It finishes with notes of leather, tobacco and char. — 11 years ago
