Dora and Maria Luisa together with Arturo, Roberto and Francesco have decided to deeply modify the original agricultural activity. Thus, in 1991, it has been decided to produce a fine wine which renewed the traditions of the noble vineyards of Campania.
The potential of the volcanic terrain descending towards the sea, together with Riccardo Cotarella, a respected wine maker with a particular interest in reviving and enhancing wines from southern Italy, brought about the birth, in 1994, of a product that aroused an incredible amount of excitement.
Since 1994 we, at GALARDI, have often thought about giving birth to TERRA DI LAVORO ‘s brother, but we were first committed to complete the production programme, then, like many other companies, to contain the effects of the crisis. Time was passing by and it never seemed the right moment to turn thoughts into concrete actions.

Galardi “Terra di Lavoro” is a wine with excellent structure and prestige produced from a calibrated blend of the aglianico and piedirosso, refined in new oak barriques for twelve months. In 1994 the first harvest was done on half a hactar. We achieved today 10 hectars of vineyards surface.

Il territorio si estende su un terreno vulcanico di grande potenzialità digradante verso il mare. I vigneti e gli uliveti sono inseriti in un'incantevole cornice di boschi di castagno che si alternano sulle pendici del vulcano di Roccamonfina offrendo una straordinaria occasione di incontro con la natura.
