【📝概述】
🇮🇹 另一款來自 Cantele 的美味葡萄酒，朋友 Romano 推薦我的。葡萄來自義大利 Guagnano （萊切 Lecce）地區的 Teresa Manara 葡萄園，具有中等緻密的富含石灰石的土壤，非常容易排水。這邊的氣候包括充足的通風、溫和的天氣和夏季極端的晝夜變化。葡萄酒“Cinque Settembre”（9 月 5 日）的名稱源於該葡萄在 9 月 5 日，採收時間較晚。由於半島的特殊氣候，促使葡萄們有良好的成熟度和酸度。
釀造和熟成：這款酒的葡萄是手工採摘的，經過精心挑選，只挑選最好的葡萄並放在小箱子裡。之後在酒廠中輕輕壓榨，將未發酵葡萄汁冷卻至 10°C，使葡萄酒自然澄清。發酵在 18°C 的鋼桶中進行，而不是在木桶中。葡萄酒在法國橡木 barrique 桶中和酒渣陳釀 12 個月。
【🍇葡萄品種 & 酒精含量】
100% 夏多內 Chardonnay,
14% ABV.
【👀視覺印象】
淺金色。
【👃嗅覺香氣】
明顯的檸檬、葡萄柚、甜瓜、白桃香氣，以及些許熱帶水果 (如鳳梨)、香草、鮮奶油、奶油、餅乾、杏仁和蜂蜜等的香氣。
【👅味覺品嘗】
明顯的香氣類似於鼻子。 中等酒體、高酒精度、中等酸度。 口感豐富、優雅，帶有非常明亮的柑橘和核果香氣及熱帶水果的氣息，令人開心的奶油和鮮奶油香氣，完美融合了橡木和酒渣的味道，恰到好處的酸度。 最後有著非常持久的礦物質尾韻。
總體來說不會讓人感覺很重，很新鮮，結構很好，香氣完美平衡。
【🍷簡單結論】
來自普利亞大區的美味夏多內，儘管收穫較晚，但它非常新鮮、爽脆、礦物感高，帶有適量的酒渣、橡木和蘋果酸乳酸味，總之，這是一款非常棒的葡萄酒，物超所值。
【📝Brief intro】
🇮🇹 Another delicious wine from Cantele @cantelewinery was recommended to me as usual by my friend Romano at Pastabasta Parigi @pastaebastaparigi.
Grapes come from the vineyard Teresa Manara in the area of Guagnano (Lecce) with a medium-compact limestone-rich soil that offers great drainage. The climate consists in abundant ventilation, temperate weather and extreme diurnal shifts in summer. The name of the wine “Cinque Settembre” (the 5th September) derives from the fact that the grapes are late harvested on the 5th of September which guarantees a great ripeness and a good acidity thanks to the specific climate of the peninsula.
Vinification & Maturation: The grapes for this wine are hand-harvested with careful selection to pick only the best ones and placed in small crates. Then at the winery, they are gently pressed and the must is cooled at 10°C so the wine will undergo natural clarification. The fermentation takes place in steel vats at 18° C. than in barriques. Wine is aged In French oak barrique on its lees for 12 months.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
100% Chardonnay, 14% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Pale gold.
【👃Nose】
Pronounced aromas of lemon, grapefruit, melon, white peach, hints of tropical fruits like pineapple, vanilla, butter, cream, biscuit, almond, and honey.
【👅Palate】
Pronounced aromas similar to the nose. Medium body, high alcohol, medium acidity. Mouthfeel is rich, elegant, with very bright citrus and stone fruits aromas with a breath of tropical fruits, pleasant buttery and creamy aromas, well-integrated oak and lees notes, just the right level of acidity. A very long and persistent mineral finish.
Overall, it doesn’t feel heavy, it’s fresh, and very well structured and the aromas are perfectly balanced.
【🍷 Conclusion】
Delicious Chardonnay from Puglia, despite being a late harvest it’s really fresh, crispy, mineral, with the right amount of lees, oak and malolactic notes, in conclusion, an incredible balanced wine and an excellent value for the money.
