Allegrini La Groletta Corte Giara Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG 義大利科奇拉酒莊拉格萊塔阿馬羅尼紅酒2016

The Allegrini estate in Veneto is regular award winner and it was voted “wine estate of the year in 2016” by Gambero Rosso, a Italian wine journal. It is unquestionably one of the greatest names in Valpolicella and without exaggeration, in Italy. This historical family estate, still in the hands of the Allegrini family, has been cultivating vines on Valpolicella terroir since the 16th century. Today, it has 100 hectares in a “Classico” zone, a historical area of production that pledges quality.

The Allegrini estate produces numerous wines in Valpolicella, including the renowned Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, which Gambero Rosso has awarded 13 times with “three glasses”, the highest award in Italy. The 2016 vintage is among the many awarded with a high score.

Produced from the Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta indigenous varietals, the Allegrini La Groletta Corte Giara Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG 2016 is a velvety wine with an imposing structure. The passerillage method (or "appassimento") is used to make the Amarone. This method consists of drying the berries on racks for several months as a way to concentrate the aromas and flavours. The Allegrini estate has perfected this technique and lets the clusters rest for 3 to 4 months during which time the total volume reduces by 40%! 

TASTING NOTE:
The controlled drying (appassimento) of the harvested grapes, which lasts for a about one hundred days, brings with it the great aromatic intensity of dark fruit and undergrowth, together with spicy and tobacco notes. The impact on the palate is powerful and vigorous, with the wine gradually tapering on the acidic and savoury momentum, extending gently with a clean, dry finish.

阿勒格里尼(Allegrini)位于威尼托(Veneto)的葡萄酒庄无疑是意大利最著名的酒庄之一。这个历史悠久的家族酒庄从16世纪就开始在瓦爾波利切拉(Valpolicella)种植葡萄。如今,该酒庄在"Classico"产区拥有100公顷的葡萄园,这是一个历史悠久、品质有保证的产区。

阿勒格里尼酒庄生产众多瓦爾波利切拉(Valpolicella)葡萄酒,其中最著名的就是阿马龙(Amarone)。该酒庄的阿马龙 della Valpolicella Classico曾13次荣获意大利最高葡萄酒奖项"三杯奖"。2016年的阿马龍也是众多优秀年份之一。

阿勒格里尼酒庄的阿马龍 La Groletta Corte Giara Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG 2016,由科爾維納(Corvina)、羅丁內拉(Rondinella)和奧塞萊塔(Oseleta)等本地葡萄品种酿造,质地绸缎般柔滑,结构雄厚。酿酒过程中采用"逾熟"(passerillage)或"空气干燥"(appassimento)工艺,将采摘的葡萄在架子上风干3-4个月,以浓缩香气和风味。这一技术阿勒格里尼酒庄已经掌握得很好,整个干燥过程可使葡萄汁量减少40%。

品鉴评语:葡萄经过约100天的受控干燥,赋予了酒体浓郁的黑果和林间香气,以及浓郁的香料和烟草气息。酒体饱满浓郁,酸度和咸味悠长持久,最终呈现干净利落的收尾。
