Taste: The production area of Puglia is located in the south of Italy, with plenty of sunshine, deep ruby red, sweet berry, vanilla, a little chocolate flavor after 1 hour, and licorice in the back, bringing a cool and fresh taste Feel. The mouthfeel of raspberry is very strong, and there is a kind of aftertaste of classic mountain pancake. I think the acidity is too high, and at the same time it is enough to support the body of the wine! Gradually feel the tannins pouring down, elongating the mouthfeel of the raspberry in the left rear section, and the overall body becomes thicker. It has the wildness of Italian wine, but it is very smooth in terms of the tannin and the strength of the wine. Worth a try.
【Albea 】
Albea is one of the oldest and most recognized wineries in the region. It represents an important example of how the production realities of modern concepts can be reconciled with classical structures. The wine cellar was born around the beginning of the 1900's with a structure made entirely of stone. Albea is also a cultural road. Producers pay attention to quality, the naturalness of the process, and respect the characteristics of the vine, so as to obtain satisfactory wine. In addition to brewing wine, Albea also set up a wine museum and "Albea Day" to hold Different activities to promote the vineyard and wine culture.
【The White House also loves Primitivo】
The White House in the United States has ordered 4320 Primtivo to Puglia in southern Italy~ Primitivo is the most famous grape in the province, and it is the same variety as the Zinfandel that is widely known in the United States!
【Luca Maroni．🇮🇹The most important wine critic in Italy】
Italian wine or French wine belongs to Europe. It is the Americans (WA, WS, BH, ST..) and the British (Decanter, Hugh Johnson, Jancis Robinson...) who score wines and make them famous all over the world. Change To put it simply, many "high-scoring" European wines are of American/British taste. For Italian wines, I have to listen to Italian wine critics! Luca Maroni's review of Italian wine is as authoritative and credible as Robert Parker's review of Bordeaux and James Hallidays' review of New Zealand and Australian wine!
Italy's most important wine critic - Luca Maroni (LM), Italian wine lovers are definitely quite aware of his skills. Since 1987, he has been working as a wine critic and has shown extraordinary taste bud judgment and analysis ability. His original scoring system, based on the fact that wine is made entirely of grapes, should express the fruit-grade that grapes should have, and make people feel pleasant after drinking. The quality index (index of quality) obtained not only takes into account the sensory experience, but also can be analyzed and assisted by scientific instruments in these three directions. In addition, Luca Maroni also included factors such as price and yield that relatively affect the degree of purchase, and explained the complex sensory experience of wine in a scientific and rational way. Therefore, his scoring system is most trusted by Italian wine fans. And respected, the guide Annuario dei Migliori Vini Italiani compiled every year also provides the best direction for many wine lovers to choose wine in the vast sea of wine. But also because Luca Maroni's scoring system is very careful and rigorous, all the wines evaluated can be said to be naked and faithfully presented. For example, high scores of more than 90 in other media are rare in Luca Maroni's books. Please note that the highest score given by Luca Maroni is only 99 points
