【📝概述】
🇮🇹 Romano 的另一款超棒的葡萄酒。 我嘗試了許多來自 Donnafugata 的葡萄酒，這是一個令人難以置信的莊園，這次我想嘗試被認為是他們最好的頂級黑阿沃拉 Nero d'Avola 葡萄酒。
首先，和往常一樣，Donnafugata 的酒標總是很漂亮，據說是參考阿拉伯的夜晚而設計出來的。 關於葡萄酒，葡萄來自海拔200-400 公尺的葡萄園，葡萄藤種植在平緩的山丘上。
氣候：冬季溫和，夏季多風溫暖乾燥，晝夜變化範圍大。 採摘為手工進行，嚴選最好的葡萄。
釀造：在不銹鋼槽中發酵，在 28 - 30 °C (82 -86° F) 的溫度下在泡皮浸漬 12 天。
熟成：在新法國橡木 barriques 桶中陳釀 13-14 個月，然後在瓶中陳釀至少 24 個月。
【🍇葡萄品種 & 酒精含量】
黑阿沃拉 Nero d’avola, 小維多 Petit verdot, 希哈 Syrah 及其他品種混釀而成, 13.5% ABV.
【👀視覺印象】
深紅寶石色。
【👃嗅覺香氣】
明顯的黑色水果(如黑莓、黑醋栗)香，李子、森林水果、蔓越莓、黑胡椒、甘草、香草、煙草、雪茄盒、可可和淡淡的皮革味。
【👅味覺品嘗】
明顯的香氣與鼻子類似，悠長的尾韻有著香料和雪茄香。 中等偏高單寧，高酸度，中等酒精度，酒體飽滿。
此款葡萄酒屬於乾型，有明顯的單寧，但仍然保持非常光滑/柔滑。非常脆的酸度和極其複雜和濃縮的香氣，使其處於美妙的平衡狀態。 Dry、優雅、充滿果味和辛辣。 新鮮的水果香，而不是像黑阿沃拉 Nero d'avola 有時會有的過熟或果醬味。 美麗的一款酒！
【🍷簡單結論】
不是一般的西西里紅葡萄酒，它幾乎讓我想起了奇揚第 Chianti 或來自更北方的葡萄酒… 與其他葡萄品種的混合帶來了很多複雜性和結構。 總的來說，這是一款令人難忘懷的葡萄酒，對我來說是更上一層次的黑阿沃拉 Nero d'avola。
【📝Brief intro】
🇮🇹 Another incredible wine from Romano @enotecaitalianaparigi . I’ve tried many wines from Donnafugata @donnafugatawine which is an incredible estate, and I wanted to try what is considered their best red and a top-level Nero d'Avola.
First and as usual with Donnafugata the label is beautiful, a reference to the Arabian nights. Regarding the wine, grapes come from vineyards located at an altitude of 200-400m, vines are planted on gentle hills.
Climate: Mild winters followed by windy warm and dry summers with a good diurnal range. The harvest is carried out manually with a very strict selection of the best grapes.
Vinification: Fermentation in stainless steel and maceration on the skins for 12 days at a temperature of 28 - 30° C (82 -86° F).
Maturation: 13-14 months in new French oak barriques and then in the bottle for at least 24 months.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
Nero d'Avola, Petit Verdot, Syrah and other grapes, 13.5% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Deep ruby.
【👃Nose】
Pronounced aromas of black fruits like blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, forest fruits, cranberry, black pepper, liquorice, vanilla, tobacco, cigar box, cocoa and hint of leather.
【👅Palate】
Pronounced aromas similar to the nose with a long finish on spices and cigar. Medium+ tannin, high acidity, medium alcohol, full body.
The wine is dry, still has perceptible tannins which remain quite smooth/silky and everything is in balance thanks to a very crispy acidity and extremely complex and concentrated aromas. It’s dry, elegant, fruity, and spicy. Fruits are fresh and not cooked or jammy as can happen sometimes with Nero d’Avola. Beautiful!
【🍷 Conclusion】
Not your average Sicilian red wine, it almost reminds me of a Chianti or something coming from further north…The blend with other grapes brings lots of complexity and structure. Overall an incredible wine, a next-level Nero d’Avola to me.
