✓ Awarded: 97 Points Wine Advocate (Issue:190, August 2010)
A fabulous wine, which not only has revealed the phenomenal potential of the blend of 80% Aglianico (for power and depth) and 20% Piedirosso (for aromatic complexity), but also demonstrated why Falernum, the wine produced in this area under the Roman Empire, was considered the greatest of the ancient world, capable – according to Petronius – of lasting 100 years. Terre di Lavoro gives back every nuance of aroma and flavor of the slopes on which it is grown: the blackberry/raspberry fruit, truffles, tar, underbrush, and warm volcanic soil in a packed but super elegant format. Rich, powerful, mouth-filling and palate-satisfying, concentrated, velvety, and flawless. Simply a master-piece of wine!
