2021 Virna Borgogno Sto Fuori Langhe DOC

朗和出品，StoFuori 以乾淨礦感和實在的口感，既日常又有一點派對感。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 礦物感明確 -> 吃海鮮、白肉更能提升整餐層次。
2) 中段有厚度 -> 入口飽滿但不厚重，容易入口、回頭率高。
3) 小批次人工照料 -> 手作味道、價錢親民，比大牌更實際。

【侍酒師私房筆記】打開後等個 30–45 分鐘，你會先聞到柑橘皮、白色果實和一股石頭味；入口清爽的酸度拉起結構，接着是杏仁與鹽感的線條，質地帶點黏性但不膩。很適合當作飯桌上的「平衡器」：能讓油脂、奶香或醬汁變得更清新。

【釀造與田地】酒莊管理坡地小塊葡萄園，土壤偏鈣質且排水好，人工採收、低產量。釀造上以溫控發酵與瓶前陳年讓酒體豐富而不失純淨，刻意少用新木，讓土地的礦物性跑出來。

【場景化配餐指南】週末中午在灣仔或太古的家庭聚會，配一碟白魚或清蒸雞，或者下班回家配烤豬腩與幾片硬乳酪，都很合拍。

【降維打擊對比】不要被一些大牌高價嚇到：同樣的深度與餘韻，StoFuori 用更實在的價格把精緻度帶到你餐桌上。

A Langhe white that pairs flinty minerality with unexpected depth—bright enough for weekday meals, serious enough for a tasting night.

【Why choose it?】
1) Distinctive mineral profile -> Brings clarity and food‑friendliness to every dish.
2) Textured mid-palate -> Feels weighty and satisfying without heaviness.
3) Artisanal small-batch production -> Hand-crafted quality at a highly competitive price.

【Sommelier Notes】Open gently and let the wine breathe for 30–60 minutes. On the nose: citrus peel, white stone fruit and a clean flinty note. The palate shows lively acidity, an almond-tinged core and saline-mineral persistence that builds into a long, focused finish. The texture is slightly rounded—think chalky, almost tactile—making it versatile with both delicate seafood and richer poultry or pork.

【Winemaking & Vineyard】Produced by a dedicated Langhe estate that works low-yield hillside plots on calcareous soils. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with attentive temperature control and matured on fine lees to add texture and complexity while preserving primary freshness. No flashy new oak—the emphasis is on soil expression and clarity.

【Occasion / Pairing Guide】Perfect for a relaxed Hong Kong weekend lunch of grilled white fish and seasonal greens, or as an attractive alternative at a dinner with roast chicken and aged cheeses.

【Competitive Edge】This vintage offers depth and length often found in pricier bottlings, but with a transparent, food-friendly profile—ideal for buyers who want character without paying collector prices.
