The result produced a wine that, despite its youth, already showed all the expressive potential of a great wine. 1994 marked the definitive birth of 'Terra di Lavoro'.
The potential of the volcanic terrain and the meeting with Riccardo Cotarella, an oenologist of great value and particularly sensitive to the recovery and valorisation of Southern Italy wines, led to the birth of Terra di Lavoro in 1993, a product that was an incredible surprise for everyone. From a close collaboration between the protagonists of this beautiful adventure, the company has moved to an efficient and modern structure animated by the same spirit.
With a careful blend of Aglianico and Piedirosso grapes, once called 'Pere 'e Palummo', obtained from vines facing south-west between four hundred and five hundred metres above the enchanting Gulf of Gaeta, Terra di Lavoro is made, a wine of great structure, appropriately aged in small oak barrels.
