Reviews

James Suckling 96

Unique aromas of blackberries, black pepper, asphalt and volcanic ash. Full-bodied with depth of fruit and layers of fine tannins. This is a structured and serious red with so much gravitas and reality to it. Deep and real.

The 2020 Terra di Lavoro is a seductress, tempting the imagination with a cascade of sweet lavender and rose offset by crushed stone, savory spices, figs and plums. It sweeps across the palate with velvety textures yet remains lifted and spry, as zesty acidity breathes life into its core of tart wild berry fruits. Hints of blood orange add check-pinching tension toward the close. Tannic and nearly salty in character, the 2020 maintains amazing energy despite its power and concentration as a saturation of licorice and an almost smoky sensation lingers on. The 2020 shows the warmth of the vintage while maintaining a perfectly harmonious feel. I expect it will enjoy a long and broad drinking window. Bravo.

Tasting notes

Subtle hints of violet, and balsamic notes of eucalyptus and liquorice. Spicy notes of ground cardamom and white pepper. Slight hints of black fruit, but not as pronounced as in hot weather vintages. The sip is elegant, full, complex, and as always, it lingers on the palate. The aftertaste confirms the aromas, but the mouthfeel deepens with citrus sensations and herbaceous aromas on the characteristic mineral finish.
