2022 Tenuta Garetto Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso DOC

海鹽感與蜂蠟甜韻並存，像把海風裝進杯子裡。

為什麼選它？
1) 岩石礦質 -> 每口帶出礦感與鹹度，醒一會兒更討喜。好下飯也好聊天。
2) 鮮明酸度 -> 撐起整體結構，配海鮮或油脂料理都不膩。
3) 層次香氣 -> 皮感柑橘、烘烤堅果和淡淡煙燻，喝到後段有蜂蜜與蜜蠟的回甘。

侍酒師私房筆記：酒色淡檸檬，第一口立刻能感到鹹礦和青檸皮的刺激，接著是烤堅果和微微的煙燻，質地偏中偏飽滿但不沉，酸度像一條脊骨把味道拉直。醒三十分鐘，蜂蠟與花香會慢慢浮上來，餘韻乾淨而帶點刺感，令人想再喝一杯。

田地與釀造：來自 Tenuta Garetto 在 Colli Tortonesi 的石灰礫石地塊，葡萄採低干預栽培，輕柔壓榨後在不鏽鋼與中性橡木中發酵，部分泥渣陳釀增加口感厚度，控制氧化讓礦感更突出。

場景化配餐指南：週末在灣仔的海鮮酒樓點一隻清蒸龍蝦；或者在家準備蘑菇燉飯、烤香草雞，朋友到訪當開胃酒也不失面子。

降維打擊對比：比起那些高價大牌白酒，這款更直接表達產區脈絡與食物適配性，價格更親民但品質毫不妥協，既能收藏也能當日常好酒。

Soul Hook: A tensile, saline white that pairs mineral precision with honeyed complexity.

Why choose it?
1) Terroir-driven minerality -> Delivers a sea-breeze saline streak that lifts each sip.
2) Structured acidity -> Keeps the palate focused and makes it a flexible food partner.
3) Layered aromatics -> Toasted-nut and citrus peel notes that evolve with air.

Sommelier's Notes: Pale lemon with an expressive nose of crushed lemon, bitter orange, beeswax and a flinty undercurrent. On the palate it shows bright, racy acidity, saline sapidity and a mid-to-full body framed by toasted-nut and subtle smoky notes. Aeration reveals honeyed layers and a long, tingling finish—drink now to enjoy its energy or cellar a few years for added complexity.

Winemaking & Vineyard: From Tenuta Garetto in Colli Tortonesi. Grapes see careful canopy management and gentle pressing; fermentation in neutral oak and stainless steel preserves freshness while a touch of lees ageing and controlled oxygen exposure adds texture and nuttiness. Vineyards are planted on calcareous, stony soils that contribute the signature flint and saline notes.

Occasions & Pairing: Perfect for a refined Hong Kong seafood dinner—steamed lobster, crab or a mushroom risotto. Also excellent for weekend roast chicken or as a standout aperitif for guests who appreciate tension and finesse.

Competitive Edge: Offers the tension and age-worthy structure of boutique northern Italian whites at a fraction of the prestige price—excellent value for collectors and diners seeking distinction.
