2019 Michele Chiarlo Barolo Cannubi DOCG (1500 ml)

Cannubi 經典：骨架分明、優雅內斂，一杯能等的好酒。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 卡努比頂級田位 -> 石灰質黏土帶來礦感和清晰度，吃得到土地的線條。 (特色->直接得益：喝到的是地塊特有的脈絡)
2) 橡木陳年有度 -> 兩年中型橡木桶帶出香料和雪松，果味仍保留鮮明。 (特色->利益：不會被木頭蓋掉，成熟可預期)
3) 人手採收與嚴謹釀法 -> 20天浸皮發酵與桶內乳酸發酵，單寧扎實，適合陳年。 (特色->利益：買到的是會越來越好的酒)

【侍酒師私房筆記】
先聞到乾花、玫瑰木與一抹雪松；入口是緊實的黑櫻桃核，跟野外的百里香、甘草和皮革味相互牽引。單寧說話很直接， 需要醒一陣子，從緊到開，尾韻長而帶礦質回甘——很適合慢慢配一頓有肉有醬的晚餐。

【田地與釀造小檔案】
來自 Cannubi 著名山坡，土壤以 Tortonian/Helvetian 石灰質黏土為主、含沙量高且微量元素豐富。全部手採，55hl 橡木發酵槽溫控浸皮約20天，桶內完成乳酸發酵，平均在木桶陳年兩年，瓶中熟成後上市。

【場景化配餐指南】
想像：半夜在中環小店預訂了一塊慢燉羊膝，朋友到齊，先醒酒 90 分鐘，上桌時酒和菜互相加分。或是下班週末，做個松露蘑菇燉豬頸肉也很合拍。

【降維打擊對比】
比起那些掛名更貴的 Cannubi 標籤，這支在評分與陳年潛力上同樣到位，價格更實際──性價比高，值得收藏或當作節慶首選。

A Cannubi classic: precision, structure and elegance in every glass.

【Why choose it?】
1) Prestigious terroir -> Cannubi’s historic calcareous-marl soils give mineral drive and clarity to the wine.
2) Matured in oak -> Two years in average-sized oak casks provide spice and cedar without overpowering the fruit.
3) Serious cellar potential -> Structured tannins and vibrant acidity promise graceful aging from 2026 to 2045.

【Sommelier’s Private Note】
On the nose: rosewood, dried florals and cedar with threads of macerated cherry. On the palate: firm, tightly woven tannins cradle black-cherry core, wild thyme and a lick of licorice; a savory, almost leathery thread carries through to a long, mineral finish. Best after a good decant — it opens from tight and linear to richly layered.

【Winemaking & Vineyard】
Hand-harvested fruit from Cannubi’s mix of Tortonian and Helvetian calcareous marl with over 30% sand. Fermented ~20 days in 55hl oak vats with soft cap wetting, followed by malolactic in vat and two years’ ageing in oak casks, then refinement in bottle.

【Occasions & Pairing】
Ideal for a refined family dinner in Hong Kong: roast lamb at a festive meal, porcini pasta on a cooler evening, or a plush steak dinner with mature Grana Padano.

【Competitive Edge】
Delivers Cannubi pedigree and top critic scores (mid-90s) at a price well below the most hyped names — precision and ageing potential without the trophy markup.
