喜愛Barolo的朋友們一定知道若要將頂尖的Barolo酒莊擺上神聖祭壇,一定少不了Giuseppe Mascarello,Bartolo Mascarello和Brun Giacosa這三個頂尖酒莊,但是祭壇上最高的首位還是得讓給Giacomo Conterno,所屬兩塊種植Nebbiolo的頂尖葡萄園 "Cascina Francia"和"Cerretta",除了生產最好的Barolo外,還種植Piemonte產區另一款重要的義大利原生品種Barbera,此品種雖不若Nebbiolo釀成的Barolo紮實耐久存,但是釀成的濃色紅酒卻是搭餐的好夥伴,本次預售詳情請見下文
< 珍藏2010 Barolo的首選 >
“The 2010 vintage in Barolo is shaping up to be a modern-day classic. The cool growing season produced transparent, vibrant Barolos that pulsate with tension, crystalline purity and site-specific nuance……Stylistically, the 2010s remind me of the 2004s, but with more mid-palate pliancy and overall depth. Simply put, 2010 is the greatest young Barolo vintage I have tasted in 18 years of visiting the region and a lifetime of buying, cellaring and drinking these wines.”
