I love the wines from this family-owned wine estate in South Italy’s Campania. It’s been years since I last visited the small property, and I look forward to getting down there soon. I was lucky enough to drink a bottle of the 2006 Terra di Lavoro at a dinner in London’s Italian restaurant Zafferano a few weeks ago, and the red was superb quality, even though it was about $250 a bottle. It was worth every penny. It’s made from organically grown grapes: 80 percent Aglianico and 20 percent Piedirosso. It showed fresh aromas of herbs and dark fruits such as blackberries and brambleberries. It was minerally too with a volcanic ash undertone. It was full and silky with lots of fruit and a long intense finish. Beautiful now. 95 points. Find the wine.
