2021 Cordero di Montezemolo Barbera d'Alba

品飲筆記：2021 年份展現明亮而有力的紅果輪廓，先是鮮明的櫻桃與李子香氣，隨後帶出些微花香與香料氣息，並伴隨一抹鹹香的礦質感。口感多汁、酸度活潑，推進力佳，單寧細緻而不厚重，帶有輕微的木質與香料點綴，收尾偏向溫潤且帶餘韻。
酒莊背景：科德蒙特莫洛是由家族掌舵的傳統酒莊，自1990年代中期起，致力於為這片產區恢復榮耀與精緻度，將地方風格重新定位為值得尊重的優雅代表。
釀造方式：各園塊分開採收，再各自發酵與短期陳年，之後調配而成。酒液在木桶中輕度陳放約4–6個月，旨在保留鮮果感同時注入柔和結構。採用軟木塞封瓶，年輕即可享用，也適合短期窖藏。
葡萄園說明：此酒源自酒莊多塊不同坡位與土壤的園地，依植株年齡與地塊差異分別管理與採收，最後融合出層次與平衡。整體風格貼近餐酒搭配，特別能襯托烤物與醬燒料理的風味。

Tasting note: Bright and generous, this 2021 bottling opens with lifted aromas of ripe red cherry, plum and a hint of violet, followed by assorted spice and a faint savoury earthiness. On the palate it is juicy and direct: lively acidity drives the mid-palate, balanced by smooth, gently grippy tannins and a subtle layer of light oak. The finish is savory and persistent, inviting another sip.
Producer notes: A family-owned estate that redefined local tradition from the mid-1990s, the producer brought renewed attention to the region’s classic style. The wine is a fusion of the estate’s Barbera plots, each harvested separately to capture differences in age, aspect and soil.
Winemaking notes: Fermented and aged briefly in wood — a light oaking for approximately 4–6 months — to preserve fruit purity while adding gentle structure and spice. Bottled under cork, the wine shows accessible balance in its youth yet will repay some short-term cellaring.
Vineyard notes: Fruit comes from multiple vineyard parcels managed by the estate. Plots of varying ages and soils are harvested independently to preserve expression and then blended to achieve complexity and harmony.
