之前介紹意大利酒莊Tenuta Fanti的出品，今次到了酒莊高端的產品，Brunello di Montalcino 「Vallochio」 ， Brunello di Montalcino Vallochio是屬於布魯奈羅-蒙塔希諾（Brunello di Montalcino DOCG），地理位置與Rosso di Montalcino DOC一糢一樣，位於意大利中部蒙塔希諾（Montalcino）。布魯奈羅-蒙塔希諾（Brunello di Montalcino DOCG）的法規更加嚴格，同樣地，用上100% 桑嬌維塞（Sangiovese）去釀造，陳存最少要4年，而其中2年要用木桶陳存。 布魯奈羅-蒙塔希諾（Brunello di Montalcino DOCG）近年備受飲家所追捧，2015年的年份更得到James Suckling 譽為✨FAIRY-TALE VINTAGE ✨；Robert Parker亦對2015年的Brunello di Montalcino評為97分的高分，如此夢幻般的年份，大家又怎麼可以錯過。

桑嬌維塞（Sangiovese）是意大利最廣為種植的葡萄，最古老的紅葡萄品種，風格上經過不同的處理手法，效果會很不一樣，由最新鮮，不經木桶陳存的年輕風格，到陳存5年以上的Brunello風格，但可以由桑嬌維塞（Sangiovese）一手包辦，可塑性非常之高。

酒莊小資訊:

Tenuta Fanti酒莊位於意大利中部Montalcino，有著悠久的釀酒历史，經過多年的發展，達到相當的規糢，到了70年代的現仕莊主Filippo Fant 引入現代的設備，對酒莊進行改革，雖然用上了新型的設備，但莊主仍然懷著傳統的理念，對質量的追求一絲不茍。在酒莊中，有很多橄欖樹，橄欖樹對酒莊有不少的作用，首先是可以穩固著土壤減少深層土壤的滑動，另一方面，橄欖樹起了防風的作用，令葡萄的繁殖受到保障，最後酒莊可以令用橄欖去生產橄欖油去增加收入，我們遲些再探討一下橄欖樹對酒莊的好處。

小編實試:
傳統的Brunello di Montalcino需要比較長的時間去喚醒他的靈魂，5-6個小時是最基本的要求，Powerful的酒體，細膩的單寧，入口有如絲滑的柔順，帶有Black Cherry，花香，甜香料，煙草，皮革等香氣，淡淡煙燻，加上Brunello的招牌氣味—焦油，感覺非常複雜而全面。

專業酒評家評分:

What a nose of dried meat, tar, tobacco, dried boysenberries, red licorice and baking spices. Hearty tannins surround the full-bodied palate from every side, wringing bursting acidity from a full-throttle core of ripe, chewy fruit. The power and intensity are undeniable, but as you seep in the rich dried spices and died meat on the finish, you catch a glimpse of crystalline acidity through the looking glass.

Vinous 93 pts
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Vallocchio is dark and floral, leading off with exotic spices and white smoke, then giving way to crushed black cherry, hints of violet, crushed stone, and sweet balsamic notes. On the palate, I find velvety textures, complemented by ripe black cherry and sweet spice, as zesty acids pinch at the senses and red inner florals resonate throughout. The finish is long and youthfully angular, while fine-grained tannins saturate under a mix of tart red berry fruit and lingering acids.

A broad, powerful version, featuring black cherry, plum, tar, iron and underbrush flavors that mingle with the thick, pointed tannins. Ripe fruit occupies the center, offsetting the muscular structure, while the finish lingers, picking up a salty element.

Balsamic aromas of menthol mingle with new leather, underbrush and steeped prune. The big brawny palate offers dried cherry, orange zest, licorice and tobacco alongside assertive, close-grained tannins that grip the close. You’ll also notice the heat of evident alcohol.
