San Giorgio Amarone 2017 《醇酒系列-I128A》***

深寶石紅色，伴隨著多元香氣，香氣帶朱古力、黑加倫子、果醬、熟成布冧等等。入口帶雲尼拿、玉桂、甜雜莓、胡椒等香甜味道。濃縮感強，jammy，酒體厚身。開初酸度及酒精感稍重，抖氣1.5hr小時後，第二層次味道慢慢出來，帶煙絲、香草、加應子、涼果、甘草、無花果乾之味。酸度變得明亮清爽，相對應令入口不會太甜膩，酒體飽滿圓潤，入口舒服，而餘韻也達10秒之久。此酒用來配配襯肉類🥩或帶微辣菜式甚佳。只賣二百頭的一支「阿媽愛你」而且有多元味道，性價比超高🏻。

此「阿媽愛你」是來自Casa Vinicola Bennati酒莊，酒莊的創辦人為Antonio Bennati，酒莊創立於 1920 年，至今已有100年歷史。在這100年間，家族‍‍‍世代傳承，至今已到了家族的第 4 代，釀造技藝早已達到爐火純青。酒莊主要在意大利Veneto產區釀造各類高性價比紅白酒及Rose，當中尤以Amarone 「阿媽愛你」 最享負盛名🏻🏻🏻🏻。目前，酒莊已更新了所有的釀酒設備，引進先進的釀酒技術，不斷收購新的優質葡萄園，與國內大學合作研發新技術，一步步將酒的品質做得更好之餘，也把成本控制得更低。因此該酒莊在消費者群中🏻‍♀🏻‍🦱🏻‍🦳很受歡迎，比如在全球著名的葡萄酒應用軟體 vivino 上（該軟體有 2,600 萬用戶），該酒莊的用戶評論上萬個🗣️！很少有酒莊能有如此龐大的消費者評論數，由此可見此酒莊的流行程度。

🏻‍♂葡萄園位於產地Cazzano di Tramigna的山坡位置，土壤為石灰石，並含豐富礦物質。每年9月，葡萄經全人手🤏🏻採收後，會先進行約3-4個月的風乾，葡萄水分蒸發，濃縮成了乾果，同時使得風味更加濃郁🤤。風乾葡萄榨出來的葡萄汁異常濃縮，因而發酵較為緩慢。此酒在不鏽鋼發酵罐中需發酵 30-40 天 (溫控在24-25度)，不鏽鋼罐發酵有利於保持新鮮的果香及清新的酸度。及後會在大小型橡木桶陳熟長達24個月，以增加酒液的香氣以及酒體的複雜度。

Tasting Notes: Deep red with violet shades, intense scents of stewed fruit and jam. On the palate it’s very elegant thanks to the harmonious scents of jam (cherries, blackberries, raspberries) and intense spicy notes. Excellent with tasty dishes, red meat and slightly spicy dishes.

The grape-picking takes place in September;then, as foreseen by the famous Amarone production technique from Valpolicella,the grapes are kept in special airy rooms where they wilt untilDecember/January. At the beginning of the new year, the grapes are de-stemmedand pressed; berries and must are put into special wine tanks, where selectedyeasts are inoculated to start and carry out the alcoholic fermentation. Thisstrictly takes place at controlled temperature (24-25°C) to extract thefruitier components of the berry skins and the great variety of substances thatgive great complexity to wine. Frequent but quick pumping overs dissolve allthe substances in the grape skins, thus enriching this wine with clear notes ofwithered fruit and jam.

Refinement: 24 months in barriques and bigbarrel
