Cantina Terlano Lagrein Gries Riserva DOC 2015

來自意大利北部 Alto Adige 大區既 Bolzano 市既 Gries 地區,又一隻好特別既意大利本土提子 Lagrein。呢枝酒既產區同提子都好特別,講提子先。

Lagrein 既顏色係好深紅,直頭紅到發紫,因為佢既花青素 Anthocyanin 濃度係咁多提子入面數一數二高既。咁紫紅色,係咪好硬淨?又唔係喎。個 nose 有黑莓既果香,仲有啲紫羅蘭嘅感覺。口感又偏輕身,雖然深色不過單寜一啲都唔重,算係偏 light 既。

至於產區,要講多啲。記得我上一支酒來自 Trentino 大區嗎?飲酒呢,絶對係兩個區,不過政治上係合併左做一個行政區 Trentino Alto Adige,係意大利 5 個自治省既其中一個。歷史上呢個省曾經係奧地利既一部份 (稱為 South Tyrol 或südtirol),不過 Trentino 因為被合併時間好短,所以當地既語言文化思維基礎係意大利文。不過 Alto Adige 就因為長時間作為奧地利既一部份,語言文化思維既基礎就係德文,當地人都會自認為 Tyrolean 而唔係 Italian。

咁點解 Alto Adige 同 Trentino 會合併左做一個省呢?當然係政治原因啦。眼見 Alto Adige 既人對意大利人身份認同咁低,所以政府將兩個區捆綁埋一齊,希望用行政手段提升 Tyrolean 對意大利既認同。講到呢度,係咪覺得同香港有啲似?

酒意評分: 92/100

食乜好: 濃味白肉,淡味紅肉

From Alto Adige, northern Italy. The grape, Lagrein which is a local indigenous grape from the region. Two things special about this wine: the grape and the region.

Around the town Gries in Bolzano suburb grows the best Lagrein. The colour of the wine is super deep, like deep purple, which is contributed by the very high concentration of Anthocyanin, probably the highest in the world. Although with this deep purple colour, it’s actually something quite light. On the nose it’s quite black current, fruity and violet on the palate with a relatively light structure and tannin. Easy to drink.

Now comes to the region. Remember the last wine I wrote about was from Trentino? Wine wise they are two regions but in terms of administration, Trentino-Alto Adige is combined as one of the five autonomous province of Italy. It was once part of Austria but Trentino was only part of it for a short period, so the language culture and mindset is Italian in general. On the other hand, Alto Adige was part of Austria for a much longer period, that’s why the language culture mindset is German and local see themselves as Tyrolean rather then Italian.

Why combining? Simple. Politics. The government hope combining both regions as one administrative autonomous Provence would raise the Tyrolean’s Italian identity recognition. Let’s not judge whether it works or not, but is it fairly similar to Hong Kong in some aspects?

Fondazione Edmund Mach Moscato Giallo DOC 2017

來自意大利北部大區 Trentino 既白酒。呢個產區係意大利比較小人飲既野,因為知名度唔高,香港既零售市場真係好小有。

今次隻提子終於都唔係意大利本土野啦,佢係大家都識既 Moscato。相信一講起 Moscato,大家都會諗起個隻微氣甜酒 Moscato d’Asti。而呢枝酒呢,係 dry version 唔甜既 Moscato,非常罕有。

Moscato 其實並唔係只係一隻提子,而係一堆擁有相同特性既提子,歸納為 Moscato。特性就係個種香到離晒譜既花香味啦。呢枝酒當然亦唔例外,超強花香,仲有蜜糖,小小杏仁既味。同女性約會一流既選擇呀😍!

注: Giallo 係意大利文既黃色咁解

酒意評分: 89/100

配搭食物: 小弟認為就咁飲最好

This bottle is from Trentino, Northern Italy. In Hong Kong I believe wine from this region is relatively unknown, and not much found in retail market.

So for the grape, finally it’s not something local Italian grape. Its Moscato, pretty much everyone knows it as the slightly sparkling sweet wine Moscato d’Asti. However this is a dry non-sweet version of moscato, which is quite unique.

Moscato is not one kind of grape, but a group of grapes sharing the same kinds of characteristics - the superb floral nose and palate. This bottle is of coz very floral on the nose too, like a matured peach, but also with some honey and almond taste. If you are dating a girl this bottle is perfect.

P.S. Giallo means yellow in Italian

Geeky Scores: 89/100

Food pairing: no need. Just drink it.

Bisci Verdicchio di Matelica 2018 DOC

來自意大利中部偏東既 Marche 大區既白酒,又一隻意大利既本土提子 Verdicchio,絶對係當地最岀名既代表提子。

Marche 大區種 Verdicchio 既主要有兩個產區,分別係 Castelli Di Jesi 同埋 Matelica。兩個產區由於地理同氣候有唔同,岀產既白酒都有唔同既感覺。

Castelli Di Jesi 由於比較近海,有兩條大河流 Misa River 同 Esino River 流經,加上地勢冇咁高,所以氣候較暖,白酒亦都比較果味濃郁,香氣撲鼻啲。

Matelica 既 Verdicchio 相對就冇咁岀名,不過都係正野。由於地理位置離海洋較遠,冇河流流經,加上地勢較高,日夜溫差較大,白酒係比較果味冇咁強,相對酸啲,多啲礦物味。

Appellation 方面,兩個產區既 Verdicchio 都係 DOC,而 riserva Version 的話,兩邊都係 DOCG。

酒意評分: 89/100

配搭食物: 生蠔(冇得輸),淡味海鮮。

Another wine from Marche. Another kind of indigenous Italian grape - Verdicchio, the most famous and signature grape of Marche.

There are two major region that grows Verdicchio - Castelli Di Jesi and Matelica. Due to the differences between geographical location and climate the Verdicchios are quite different in style too.

Castelli Di Jesi is closer to sea, with Misa River and Esion River flowing through, and lower in altitude, their Verdicchio is usually more floral, more fruity and more Mediterranean.

Verdicchio from Matelica is not as famous, but can be just as good. As Matelica is further inland, with no rivers flowing through and higher in altitude, their Verdicchio is usually less fruity, less floral but having a higher acidity, more citrus and minerals.

In terms of appellation, normal version of Verdicchio from both regions are DOC. Both the Riserva version are DOCG.

Geeky Score: 89/100

Food pairing: raw oyster(too perfect), light seafood.

Giuseppe Quintarelli Bianco Secco 2015 IGT

來自意大利東北部大區 Veneto 既 Valpolicella 產區,相信有飲開酒既朋友對呢個產區都唔會陌生。Valpolicella 最岀名既當然係 Amarone Delle Valpolicella 啦,不過呢個產區既白酒黎講,就相對冇乜名氣啦,所以我又可以介紹下啦。

呢一帶最盛產既提子叫 Garganega,又係意大利本土野,最岀名係用黎釀造 Soave。

今次有幸飲到 Giuseppe Quintarelli 呢個大莊真係小弟既福份。呢枝酒主力係 Garganega,不過就好玩野咁溝左好幾隻唔同既提子 - Trebianno,Sauvignon Blanc,Chardonnay 同埋 Saorin (一隻好古老既當地提子)。完全就係菠蘿既味道,未飲過一枝白酒有咁既味,好過癮。酸度唔算太就,入口口感正,真係冇得輸。

酒意評分: 95/100

配搭食物: 濃味海鮮,意粉,白肉。

From Valpolicella, Veneto, Northeastern part of Italy. This area no doubt is famous for the very nice strong red wine Amarone Delle Valpolicella. White wine is relatively less popular, which means there are something I can talk about again haha.

The western part of Veneto is the home for an indigenous grape called Garganega. The most famous region for this grape is Soave, just east of Valpolicella.

It is a great pleasure to have a chance trying wine from this winery. The major grape in this bottle is Garganega, but blended with a few different kinds of grape with the combination can be considered very creative and innovation - Trebbiano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Saorin (a very old rare local white grape). This bottle tastes super like pineapple, both on nose and on palate, which I can’t recall drinking anything similar before. With medium acidity, very nice and balanced texture. What can I say?

Food pairing: strong flavour seafood, pasta, white meat

Di Majo Norante Tintilia del Molise 2014 DOC

呢枝勁啦,極罕見,香港應該好難買到。來自意大利中南部,全意大利最細既產區 Molise,提子係當地既代表作品 - Tintilia。呢個產區既特點就係細同冇乜人識。

佢係 100% Tintilia。岩岩開個陣,係好重既蘑菇,森林濕濕既泥土,皮革既味道。放返一陣,啲果香岀晒黎,好似百花齊放咁,變化精彩絕倫,真係冇諗過可以咁好飲。

酒意評分: 93/100

配搭食物: 濃味既肉,中菜。

So this is a very uncommon wine from an uncommon region. I guess very hard to buy in Hong Kong. Again another Italian wine, this time from the smallest region - Molise - located in the south central Italy. Tintilia is an indigenous and signature grape of the region. Molise is so special in terms of being the smallest and the most unknown.

This is made by 100% Tintilia. When it was just opened, we had a strong mushroom, earthy, forresty, mudddy and leather taste. After a couple of hours, all the fruits taste are back. Everything was nicely balanced with good acidity and tannin. Structure was not too hard but a good one.

Geeky Scores: 93/100

Food pairing: strong flavour meat, Chinese food.

Paraschos KAI Friulano IGT

Here comes the English version. It’s from Collio of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Friuli), northeastern part of Italy. First time introducing wine from this region so let me talk about it more.

As Friuli lies at most northeastern Italy, it produces more white wine then red. Also as it borders with Slovenia, it’s viniculture is greatly affected by its neighbor.

Friuli produces some of the best white wine in Italy. Back in 60s, a pioneer called Mario Schiopetto, introduced more advanced technology for wine making, e.g. the stainless steel container, temperature controlled room to prevent wine undergo oxidation. This move greatly boosted the quality of wine, making Friuli the pioneer of white wine making in Italy.

Friuli produces quite a lot of orange wine too (which is very popular in Slovenia. Thank you for the influence neighbor). Well, what is orange wine? It’s completely irrelevant to orange. Long story short, orange wine is a white wine but spent certain amount of time with skin contact during fermentation. That’s why it has an amber colour and being referred to orange wine.

Back to this bottle, 100% Friulano, another grape being considered as indigenous from Italy. In gereral, Friulano is very fresh with some apple, citrus and floral characters. With this made as an orange wine it has a strong honey, hazelnut and oxidised taste but deep down the freshness lively feeling is still there.

P.S. Collio means hillside

Food pairing: hard cheese, pasta, strong flavour seafood

Paraschos KAI Friulano IGT

來自意大利最東北邊既大區 Friuli Venezia Giulia (下簡稱 Friuli) 既 Collio 產區,小弟第一次介紹呢個大區既酒,講多小小關於個產區先。

Friuli 位於意大利既最東北部,由於氣候較凍所以比較多岀產白酒。又因為同斯洛文尼亞接壤,所以酒既文化好受個邊既影響。

Friuli 既白酒係全意大利質素數一數二既,因為 60 年代,有位叫做 Mario Schipetto 既前輩將釀酒現代化,包括用不鏽鋼桶,加入溫度控制設備等防止過程中令酒氧化。呢啲舉動成功令 Friuli 既白酒質素大大提升,令 friuli 成為左意大利白酒既先鋒。

Friuli 既酒仲有一個特性,就係岀產好多 orange wine (注: 斯洛文尼亞盛產橙酒,自然就將橙酒文化引入左 Friuli)。唔好誤會,orange wine 同橙係冇關係既,只係隻色好橙所以叫 orange wine。咁點解會橙色架呢?其實 orange wine 簡單講就係白酒不過連埋提子皮去釀,所以過程中產生左比一般白酒深色既橙色,因而得名。

呢枝酒係 100% friulano,又係意大利自家野,一般黎講呢隻提子都係好 fresh 好清新脫俗,orange wine 左之後雖然有蜜糖,榛子醬,加埋氧化左既味道,不過蘊藏喺入邊嘅清新脫俗感覺依然,形成奇妙嘅對比。

注: Collio 係意大利文解作山區。

酒意評分: 87/100

配搭食物: 硬身芝士,意粉,濃味海鮮。

18/09/2019

Fontana Vecchia Grave Mora Aglianico del Taburno 2007 DOC

Here comes the English version. So, I feel thankful to have tried this bottle about a year ago. Definitely my best top 3 red wine in my database.

Again, indigenous grape from Taburno of Campania called Aglianico. It has a reputation of being known as ‘Barolo of the South’. When something can linked up with Barolo you know it’s good. However still not too famous to the world for some reason so I am going to talk about it in details.

Aglianico has 3 major production area. Beside Taburno, also from Campania we have Taurasi (most well known Red wine from Southern Italy no doubt) and also Vulture from Basilicata. They all grow Aglianico but with different biotypes - Aglianico Amaro from Taburno, Aglianico Di Taurasi from Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture from Vulture.

So here comes another question. What is a biotype? To make things simple, you can imagine some grapes went into a process of genetical mutation. Those who undergo this process shares same parents with other brothers, but DNA became different. In addition to adapting to local terroir for ages, these biotypes reveal different characters.

Back to this bottle of wine. 100% Aglianico. On the nose right after I smell it I know I picked the right one. Intense aromas of cherry, plum, wild berries, further on some leather, spice, smoke and minerals. On palate, very full body strong red wine with high acidity. Tannin is strong too but very nicely balanced with the acidity. Not only those aromas are all these, after some times, vanilla, oak smoky and minerals all revealing. Everything was perfectly balanced. Just superbly elegant with a great potential to age for at least 20 - 30 years more.

Geeky Scores: 98/100

Food Pairing: steak florentine, iberico ham, any red meat with fats and oil.

Fontana Vecchia Grave Mora Aglianico del Taburno 2007 DOC

小弟上年有幸飲到佢,一直都係小弟心目中飲過最正既紅酒既頭三位。當然又係意大利本土提子啦。

來自意大利南部 Campania 大區既 Taburno 產區,提子品種係 Aglianico。Aglianico 有個美譽,本地人叫佢做 Barolo of the south,聽個名都知係正野,不過又唔係好多人識喎,所以等小弟講多啲啦!

Aglianico 主要有三大產區,除左 Taburno 之外,同樣來自 Campania 大區既,有南部酒王美譽既 Taurasi ,仲有相對名氣冇咁大既,來自 Basilicata 大區既 Vulture。三個產區都係主力生產 Aglianico,不過就有三種唔同既 Biotypes - Taburno 既叫做 Aglianico Amaro,Taurasi 既係 Aglianico di Taurasi,同埋 Aglianico del Vulture。

好啦,咩叫 biotype 呢?簡單講,你當係啲提子無啦啦產生左基因突變,再加上生長地區唔同,長年累月隻提子雖然來自同一個爸爸媽媽,不過基因同其他兄弟姊妹唔同,慢慢就發展左有另一啲特性啦。

講返呢枝酒先,100% Aglianico。一聞已經喜岀望外,知道自己揀岩野黎飲。強勁既車厘子,布冧,森林入面既野生紅莓黑莓,仲有啲皮革,香料,甘草,礦物,複雜得黎融會貫通。飲落直頭係味覺嘅高潮,好硬淨,full body,酸度夠晒,單寧重不過好柔和,同酸度配合得天衣無縫。口入味味道變化既過程係匠心獨運,不單止之前聞到既有齊,慢慢仲有雲尼拿,木桶,Smoky 既味道,組成一個完美嘅平衡,高貴到一個點。

注: Aglianico del Taburno 係 2011 年先升格為 DOCG,所以呢枝 2007 年既係 DOC。

酒意評分: 98/100

食物配搭: Steak Florentine,西班牙火腿,濃味帶油份既紅肉。

Tenuta Delle Terre Nere Calderara Sottana Etna Rosso 2015 D.O.C.

嘩個名都長過人。來自意大利最南部既西西里島,島以東有意大利最大既火山 Mount Etna。提子品種當然都係意大利既本土野啦,98% Nerello Mascalese 2% Nerello Cappuccio。

意大利酒啲本土提子,經常都有驚喜。聞落有好香既 red fruit,雲呢拿,仲有小小朱古力味。飲落以為南部野會硬淨啦,又唔係喎,酸度夠,單寧唔重不過好順滑,仲有好特別好 warm 既香料味。點解唔硬淨而酸度又夠呢?因為種提子既地方夠高(海拔 600 到 700 米),夜晚夠凍令提子嘅酸度可以保存。

Calderara Sottana 係咩呢?係咁多個 cru 入面最多石頭既,一望就會認得。

酒意評分: 91/100

食物配搭: 豬,羊,濃味白肉。

Italian wine always got a long name that makes them very hard to understand. That’s one part I found very special haha.
From Southernmost of Italy- Sicily. To the east of the island there is largest active volcano in Italy- mount Etna. Again, made by indigenous Italian grape - 98% Nerello Mascalese 2% Nerello Cappuccio.

Always got surprise when you try different indigenous grape from Italy. On the nose I got strong red fruits, vanilla, chocolate as well. On palate, thought it would be strong as it’s from a warm region. It contains a good acidity, tannin is fairly mild but very smooth, with a very special warm spices as well. So why it’s not too strong? Coz grapes grow at high altitude (600-700m), at night it’s cold enough to maintain the acidity.

Geeky Scores: 91/100

Food pairing: pork, lamb, strong flavoured white meat.

Stefano Mancinelli Lacrima di Morro d’Alba Superiore 2015

小弟都係第一次飲 Lacrima 呢隻提子,都幾有驚喜。來自 Marche 大區既 Morro d’Alba 一帶既村落既原生提子,有別於一般既紅酒味。薰衣草,玫瑰味,聞落直情似淡淡既香水,飲落亦有香水,花露水既感覺,非常有趣既味道。(注:意大利酒入面有幾隻提子都有異曲同工之妙,如 freisa, ruche)

酒意評分 : 85/100

呢支酒單獨以一支酒黎講係相當唔錯既,不過我唔俾太高分係因為唔會有太多人鍾意呢種 style。香港既市面暫時好似未有既 (各位有見到既話我知)。

配搭食物: 認真,唔太肯定襯乜好。我覺得就咁飲幾好,或者可以試下有小小甜甜地既野,例如港式棉花糖。試完話我知,感謝🙏!

Lacrima, an indigenous grape from Marche around the mountain top village around Morro d’Alba. It’s my first time trying this grape and there is some surprising elements.

On the nose there is lavender, rose on top of some berry notes. In the mouth, basically like a bottle of mild perfume. Not something typical. (P.S. There are some other grapes from Italy that shows similar perfume characteristics, e.g. Ruche, Freisa)

Geeky Scores: 85/100

The bottle itself is good, but I believe only a few people tried this before and it’s not a popular one (I don’t think I see any in HK before, please let me know if you see one).

Food Pairing: To be honost, I am not sure. Drinking itself only is a good option. Maybe we can try something a little bit sweet, like marshmallow. Please let me know how it goes with marshmallow haha!
