Umani Ronchi Montepulciano d Abruzzo Jorio 2017

Jorio is Umani Ronchi’s selected Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC. It was created in the mid-nineties to express the great potential of this varietal, in collaboration with fanatically dedicated Abruzzese winegrowers with vineyards in particularly favourable areas for its growth.

The name of the wine is intended as a tribute to the great twentieth-century Abruzzese poet Gabriele D’Annunzio, who made his wild, provincial native soil into a “barbaric” novelty, exciting and transgressive, with which he stirred and won the public’s favour. Here is D’Annunzio’s dedication to his pastoral tragedy The daughter of Jorio: “To the land of Abruzzi, to my mother, to my sisters, to my brother in exile, to my buried father, to all my dead, to all my people between the mountains and the sea, this song of ancient blood I consecrate.”

Located in various municipalities in the Abruzzo Region, the vineyards from which we produce Jorio are distinguished by the special attention which is dedicated to pruning. The aim is to limit fruit production and create ideal conditions for air to circulate around the productive layer of the vine. These are essential conditions for ensuring ideal ripening of the Montepulciano grape.

Some real complexity and flare on the nose, which displays a wealth of oregano, sage, forest floor, blackcurrants and citrus. The full-bodied palate is also very serious, weaving ornately through a tapestry of fine-grained tannins; the finish is polished and long. A very well-made Montepulciano that blows many others out of the water, but at an amazing price! Drink from 2021.

烏馬尼·朗基(Umani Ronchi)的Jorio是精選的蒙特普希亞諾·達布魯佐DOC葡萄酒。這款酒是在上世紀90年代中期創造的,旨在展示這個葡萄品種的出色潛力,並與阿布魯佳地區專注於葡萄種植的酒農合作完成。

這款酒的名字是為了致敬20世紀偉大的阿布魯佳詩人加布里埃爾·丹努齊奧(Gabriele D'Annunzio)。丹努齊奧將他野性的家鄉土地描述為"野蠻"的新奇事物,令觀眾興奮和觸動。以下是他為牧歌悲劇《若瑞奧的女兒》寫的獻辭:"獻給阿布魯佳的土地,我的母親,我的姐妹,我流亡的兄弟,我已故的父親,以及所有生活在山和海之間的人們,這首古老血液的歌。

Jorio的葡萄園位於阿布魯佳地區的多個市鎮,這些葡萄園以特別注重修剪而著稱。這旨在限制果實產量,為葡萄藤創造理想的空氣流通條件,從而確保蒙特普希亞諾葡萄的最佳成熟度。

品嚐評語:
詹姆斯·薩克林 93分
這款酒富有真正的複雜性和活力,在鼻尖上展現出豐富的牛至、鼠尾草、林間土腥和黑加侖以及柑橘香氣。飽滿的酒體也很有深度,織進一張細膩的單寧織錦中;收尾優雅悠長。這是一款製作精湛的蒙特普希亞諾,完爆了許多競爭對手,價格卻令人讚嘆。建議2021年起飲用。
