2018 Italo Cescon Il Tralcetto Raboso IGT Veneto

酒款風格：酒液呈中等至深寶石紅，邊緣帶亮麗的紅緋色調。香氣以酸櫻桃與野生李子為核心，伴隨乾草本、黑胡椒與些微皮革、土壤氣息，整體偏向鄉土、俐落不矯飾。口感上酸度鮮明，單寧有力但不粗糙，單寧與果酸交織出清晰的口腔結構與彈性中段，尾韻帶有香料與鹹香感，回味持久。酒莊與生產：來自威尼托一個小型家族酒莊，重視傳統技法與低干預作法，堅持手工採收與果實分級，產量偏小但風土感鮮明。釀造手法：以自然酵母發酵並採用較長的浸皮期來提取顏色與結構，熟成多在大型中性橡木桶與水泥/不鏽鋼槽中以保留果香與活力，過濾輕微、硫磺用量克制。葡萄園環境：葡萄園位於緩坡地帶，土壤以粘土夾石灰為主，晝夜溫差有助於酸度保留；採用矮樁或灌木式栽培，許多老藤為酒款帶來深度與層次。配餐與飲用建議：開瓶可先醒酒約45–60分鐘，搭配風味厚實的紅肉、蕃茄醬義大利麵、燒烤香腸或陳年硬質起司都非常合拍。

Tasting note: Deep ruby in the glass with a bright rim. The nose opens to sour cherry, wild plum and red berry compote, edged by dried herbs, black pepper and subtle leather. On the palate it shows lively acidity, firm rustic tannins and an energetic mid-palate of red fruit and earthy spice, finishing savory and persistent. Producer notes: From a small family-run estate in Veneto that focuses on traditional, low-intervention winemaking and old-vine fruit. Hand-harvested fruit and careful selection keep volumes modest and quality high. Winemaking notes: Fermented with predominantly indigenous yeasts and given an extended maceration to extract colour and structure. Matured in large neutral oak casks and concrete/stainless vessels to preserve freshness while softening tannins; minimal filtration and restrained sulfur use. Vineyard notes: Vineyards sit on gently sloping sites with clay-limestone soils and good day–night temperature swings. Bush-trained, sustainably managed vines, many of which are older plantings that lend depth and rustic character. Serving: best decanted for 45–60 minutes and served at cellar-adjacent temperature. Pair with hearty, tomato-rich dishes, grilled meats and aged cheeses.

Winery

這是一個威尼托的小型家族酒莊，堅持傳統栽培與低干預釀造。酒莊偏好老藤果實，手工採收並在釀造時以自然酵母發酵、長時間浸皮來累積結構，熟成多用大型中性桶或水泥槽，目的在保留產地風土與果實原貌，而非靠新橡木掩飾。

A small family estate in Veneto, run with a focus on traditional viticulture and low-intervention winemaking. The producer emphasizes old-vine material, hand-harvested grapes and careful cellar work—native fermentations, long macerations and aging in large neutral vessels to showcase terroir rather than oak.
