2019 Gianni Gagliardo Barolo DOCG (1500 ml)

一支有花香卻咬得到骨子的 Barolo，打動的是細緻與力量並存。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 精選田塊 -> 你喝到的是分層的風土，前中後段有變化。
2) 傳統但不厚重的釀法 -> 單寧細緻，入口有結構感但不笨重。
3) 現喝可享，收藏也安心 -> 醒半小時到一小時即可開瓶上場，往後還會越來越好。

【侍酒師私房筆記】香氣先是玫瑰與紅果（草莓、櫻桃）的清新，接著滲出檸檬皮的微苦與一點泥土香。口中酸度帶動酒身，單寧結實但條理分明，餘韻有嚼感—適合慢慢咀嚼、搭配帶肉汁的菜。想讓果香更明顯，醒個一小時會更舒服。

【場景化配餐指南】週末跟朋友吃家庭式烤羊、或和另一半去吃磨菇燉飯、以及與陳年硬芝士一同品味，都非常合適——在香港的晚餐桌上，既能襯托菜式也能當主角。

【降維打擊對比】比起大牌標籤的同年份，Gianni Gagliardo 給你更直接的風土感和更高的性價比：來源分散於優秀小園，風格紮實但不裝腔，適合想要真實 Barolo 體驗的買家。

A Barolo that balances clarity and chew — perfumed red fruit with serious structure.

【Why choose it?】
1) Vineyard selection -> Benefit: Sourcing from classic Barolo crus gives layered complexity you taste from the first pour.
2) Focused winemaking -> Benefit: Gentle extraction and careful oak ageing deliver firm, fine tannins without heaviness.
3) Drink-now, age-gracefully -> Benefit: Approachable in its youth after a short decant, yet rewards cellaring.

【Sommelier’s Notes】Lifted floral and red-fruit perfumes—hibiscus, strawberry and a hint of cantaloupe—lead to savory citrus peel and earthy spice. Medium-to-full on the palate with lively acidity, polished but present tannins and a chewy, satisfying finish. Shows precision and balance rather than brute force.

【Occasion / Pairing】Perfect for a weekend roast in Hong Kong: roast lamb or braised beef, porcini dishes and hard Italian cheeses. Decant 60–90 minutes to show the wine’s fragrant top notes and soften the tannins.

【Competitive Edge】Compared with bigger-brand bottlings, this Barolo gives classic cru complexity at a compelling price — estate-driven sourcing and classic cellaring make it both immediate and age-worthy.
