Terra di Lavoro Vineyards & Winery
Welcome to Terra di Lavoro Vineyards & Winery, a burgeoning gem in the Finger Lakes wine region, where old-world experience meets new-world viticulture to craft wines of exceptional quality and unique regional character.
History and Background
Terra di Lavoro, a recent addition to the Finger Lakes wineries, brings a fresh perspective to winemaking in the region. Leveraging old-world expertise combined with modern techniques, our goal is to reflect the high potential of Finger Lakes wines through meticulous vineyard management and minimalistic winemaking approaches.
Vineyard Details and Wine Production
Nestled on the eastern slopes of Seneca Lake, in the area affectionately known as the "banana belt," our vineyards enjoy optimal growing conditions. The warm afternoon sun, beneficial updrafts, and the natural frost protection from the lake, which never freezes, create an ideal microclimate for nurturing vineyards.
Focus on Bordeaux Varietals
- Cabernet Franc
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Merlot
Our winemaking philosophy centers on expressing the true terroir of our vineyards with honesty and minimal intervention.
