Montevetrano di Silvia Imparato 2016 蒙特維酒莊干紅葡萄酒

The Montevetrano story starts in the mid 80s, with a group of friends who love wine and has the desire to experiment. It was 1983, and among them there were Silvia Imparato and Riccardo Cotarella. After six years, there is the first bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon 90% and Aglianico 10%, the first vintage of a wine that will adopt the same name of the castle: Montevetrano. An extraordinary success, that still continues today.

Today Montevetrano is a 26 hectares estate about 5 of these are vineyards), in the Monti Picentini Regional Park, in southern Italy. The vineyards are in San Cipriano Picentino, in a former Bourbons’ estate at 100 meters above sea level, on the crest of a hill among oaks, chestnuts, hazelnut trees, citrus grove and olive trees, by the shadow of an ancient medieval castle. The boundaries are marked by blackberry bushes and old roses introduce to the rows in the “Horse vineyard”, near the ‘700 country house.

Tasting Note: Stunningly fresh nose of blackcurrants, blackberries and elderberries with myriad spice and herbal nuances. Breathtakingly fine tannins and great freshness packed into a sleek frame, the wine gliding over the palate gracefully as it heads out towards eternity. Delicious now, but with enormous aging potential.

Montevetrano也被葡萄酒皇帝羅伯特·帕克稱為「南部的西施佳雅」！

《Gambero Rosso》對酒莊介紹： 時尚現代的狂風從來都沒有捲走Mongtevetrano酒莊和經營者Silivia Imparato的公認權威。 20年前在Riccardo Cotarella的幫助下，Silivia進行了赤霞珠、梅洛和Aglianico的傳奇混合試驗。隨著時間的流逝，我們見證了該酒莊在葡萄酒世界中從激進嘗試向地區經典的逐漸轉變。

Montevetrano酒莊出品的主要酒款就是Montevetrano Imparato，它使用60%的Cabernet Sauvignon、30% Merlot和10% Aglianico混合釀製而成。

不管各個年份的條件如何，每一年的Montevetrano葡萄酒都會散發出大量驚人的黑莓、藍莓和黑色覆盆子的水果風味，酒體適中或略顯強勁，水果味濃郁，而且個性複雜。此外，它們還有淡淡的礦物質風味，陳年潛力長達10年到20年。

從風格上來說，它們很像意大利版的Colgin或Bryant家族葡萄園出產的Cabernet Sauvignon葡萄酒，具有十足的複雜性和豐富性。不過遺憾的是，這令人讚不絕口的美酒每年的產量不過5000箱。
