Tasting note
品飲筆記:酒液呈淡金色,香氣清新而層次分明,先是柑橘皮與白花的清爽香氣,接著帶出青蘋果和帶礦物感的石頭氣息,尾韻帶些草本調。口感方面屬中偏飽滿路線,酸度活潑、帶鹹味的礦感讓人忍不住再啜一口;輕微的鞣感來自皮接觸,給了整體結構與延展性。生產者與酒莊:Tenuta Garetto 位於 Colli Tortonesi 的丘陵地帶,酒莊重視表現土地特質,採較低干預方式與人工採收,注重在田間管理以取得成熟但有活力的果實。釀造方式:採取溫和壓榨與低溫發酵保留香氣,之後在不銹鋼與大口徑中性桶上與酒泥接觸以增加口感厚度,僅有輕微的皮接觸帶出天然的質地而不蓋掉礦感。葡萄園環境:葡萄園多為石灰質與礫石土壤、坡地朝向良好、海拔適中,有利於果實濃縮與酸度保存,造就這款酒的清爽骨架與持久餘韻。建議醒酒 30 分鐘或先倒入杯中稍候,適溫飲用(10–12°C)。配餐建議:生蠔、貝類、清烤白魚、清淡家禽料理與山羊乳酪都能和諧搭配。
Tasting note: Pale gold with energetic clarity. On the nose, citrus peel and white blossoms open first, followed by orchard stone fruit, wet stone and a flinty, slightly herbal thread. The palate is medium–full, sapid and textured — vibrant acidity drives a long, saline finish with a subtle phenolic grip that adds structure and persistence. Producer notes: From Tenuta Garetto in the Colli Tortonesi hills, this wine reflects a focus on site expression and careful, low-intervention work in the cellar. Hand-harvested fruit is handled gently to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Winemaking notes: Grapes undergo gentle pressing and cool fermentation to retain aromatics, with extended lees contact and selective maturation (stainless steel and large neutral vessels) to build texture without masking minerality. Light phenolic extraction gives a rounded mid-palate and ageworthy frame. Vineyard notes: Vines sit on calcareous, often stony hillside soils with good exposure and moderate altitude — conditions that favour concentration, mineral character and lively acidity. Serve lightly chilled (10–12°C) and give a short decant or 30 minutes in the glass to reveal deeper aromatics. Food pairing: Excellent with shellfish, grilled white fish, delicate poultry dishes and fresh cheeses; also shines with slightly richer Asian seafood preparations.
