義大利酒莊


La Spinetta

 
 
這家位於義大利Piemonte的酒莊在台灣或許很陌生,但他卻是行家眼中的寶。
 
義大利酒權威Gambero Rosso出版的2009年指南裡,評選義大利眾多酒莊,獲得四星的只有一家酒廠,那就是頂頂大名的Gaja。而獲得三星殊榮的也只有兩家,其中一家,就是您眼前的La Spinetta!
 
現由Giorgio Rivetti 掌理的La Spinetta屬於新式風格酒廠,這位傳奇的新興釀酒師被最新一期Wine Spectator(2008 十二月份)的James Suckling專文介紹,他的名言是『百分之九十的工作是在葡萄園裡完成』(90% of our work is in the vineyards and only 10% in the cellar),可見他對葡萄種植方面的用心。與柏根地名家Leroy一樣使用『自然動力法』,謝絕使用化肥以及農藥,並且以獸力來整頓葡萄園,讓他在Piemonte地區獨樹一格,加上他曾經在法國波爾多五大酒莊之一的Chateau Margaux待過一年,對使用小型橡木桶方面得心應手,這使得原本酒質堅硬適合陳年的Nebbiolo酒款,帶有更多果香以及容易親近的調性,但也不讓過多的橡木氣味壓過葡萄本身風格,控制得宜。 
 
 
Giorgio Rivetti雖號稱『葡萄完美的成長,對一支酒來說最重要』,但品嚐過的人都知道,這位釀酒師對橡木桶的使用,如乎神技。
 


La Spinetta 義大利紅酒











Complex and gently spiced, white truffle and herb aroma. Well structured, fine tannins, austere with a finish reminding of mint and thyme.

Wine Advocate: 93 points
The Barbaresco Valeirano is even better than the Gallina. Made in a fresher, more structured style than the Gallina, it is a gorgeous, poised wine with ripe fruit, menthol, spices, truffles and sweet toasted oak notes. Still backward, it is the most structured of these Barbarescos, and will require patience. 

This is a very strong set of releases from La Spinetta and proprietor Giorgio Rivetti. The Barbarescos are easily the best of his career. The wines still see 100% new French oak, but toast levels have been reduced and the Barbarescos now spend 12 months in oak rather than the 18 months they saw in previous vintages. Both changes have had a remarkably positive effect in allowing more site-specific character and Nebbiolo fruit to come through.
