Tasting note

這支 2017 年份的 Brunello 香氣迷人，先是鮮紅果實的櫻桃、覆盆子與成熟紅李的層次，接著冒出一抹柑橘皮與地中海香草的清新。單寧有力量但磨得細緻，酸度明亮讓整體口感緊緻而有彈性，果實感在口中延展成柔和的中後段，餘韻悠長帶些土壤與香料的餘香。酒莊以傳統手法釀造，重視果園選地與低產量管理，葡萄園多位於排水良好的斜坡石質土壤，人工修剪與精細採收確保成熟與風味集中。釀酒過程採用較長的浸皮與穩定的熟成期，使結構穩固適合餐桌搭配。建議醒酒一小時讓層次更開放，配燉肉或烤牛風味最佳。

Bright and classically composed, this Brunello opens with an aromatic bouquet of red cherry, raspberry and darker prune notes, edged by mandarin peel and dry Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it is medium–full with focused acidity and polished, ripe tannins that frame juicy red fruit and a subtle earthy, savoury undercurrent. The texture is rounded and progressive, finishing long and refined. Producer notes point to meticulous vineyard selection on Montalcino’s hills and traditional cellar work: extended maceration, slow fermentation and long ageing to build structure and longevity. The vineyards sit on well‑drained, stony slopes with low yields and careful canopy management, favouring concentration and aromatic clarity. Drink now after decanting or cellar further through the drinking window for added tertiary complexity.

瓦迪卡瓦是蒙塔奇諾地區的經典酒莊之一，以穩健而優雅的風格聞名。酒莊重視田間管理、控制產量，葡萄園多座落於排水佳的山坡石質土壤。釀造上採取傳統且耐心的程序，強調結構與陳年潛力，而非一時的鮮明果味。

Valdicava is one of Montalcino’s most respected estates, known for producing Brunellos with clarity of fruit and strong sense of place. The team focuses on low yields, careful vineyard work on stony, hillside sites and a patient cellar regime aimed at building harmony and longevity rather than early showiness.
