Tasting note
品飲筆記:金黃閃亮,打開瓶蓋就能聞到烤榛果、牛奶糖與可可的溫暖香氣,並夾帶些許甜香料的氣息。入口如絲綢般包覆舌面,奶油感與烘烤堅果油脂交織,中段圓潤而豐滿,收尾長且帶回味但不膩口。 生產者故事:Frangelico 是來自皮埃蒙特的經典榛果力嬌酒代表,品牌以當地優質榛果為核心,將傳統手法與現代調配結合,做出容易入口又辨識度高的風味。 釀造/製程小記:挑選當地細緻的整顆榛果(多為朗格與蒙費拉托地區的品種),先輕烤以引出香氣,再研碎浸漬於中性酒精中萃取油脂與香味。之後加入可可、香草與溫和香料的萃取物,調入糖漿、過濾與平衡,目標是達到滑順、濃郁卻不過甜的口感。 田地與來源:原料來自皮埃蒙特起伏的丘陵地帶,石灰性土壤與涼爽日夜溫差,讓榛果香氣純淨集中。這種產地特性造就了本品標誌性的烘培堅果風味。 飲用建議:可冷飲、加冰或加入濃縮咖啡、奶油風調酒與甜點中,口感上會更顯圓潤豐富。
Tasting note: Bright, golden-amber in the glass with an immediately recognizable bouquet of toasted hazelnuts, nougat, warm caramel and a whisper of cocoa and sweet spices. On the palate it is creamy and enveloping — buttery mid-palate notes of hazelnut and vanilla meld with gentle toasted, toffee-like tones, finishing long and satisfying without becoming cloying. Producer notes: Frangelico is an icon of Piedmontese liqueur-making. The brand celebrates the region’s famed hazelnuts and a long tradition of nut infusions. The product is crafted to highlight the pure, nutty character while balancing sweetness and spice for an approachable sipping liqueur or cocktail component. Winemaking/production notes: Whole hazelnuts (traditionally Tonda Gentile from the Langhe area) are gently toasted, crushed and macerated in a neutral spirit to extract the oils and aroma compounds. The infusion is blended with natural extracts — cocoa, vanilla and warming spices — then sweetened and filtered to achieve a silky texture. The result is a smooth, moderately weighted liqueur designed for sipping neat, on ice, or mixing. Vineyard/field notes: While not a wine, its raw material roots lie in Piedmont’s hills — the Langhe and Monferrato zones known for calcareous soils and a climate that produces exceptionally aromatic hazelnuts. The regional terroir contributes to a clean, aromatic nut profile that defines the liqueur.
