Etna Rosso:我為火山灰著迷

Updated: Jul 1, 2022

位於意大利西西里島東北部的Mount Etna,最近於去年十二月初再次爆發,西西里的星空提早擦上聖誕的紅。這個一百萬歲的火山,是歐洲最大和最活躍的火山。世代面對Mount Etna炙熱火爆的脾性,西西里島民看來沒半點怯意。今日, 百分之二十五西西里島民落戶Mount Etna火山山腳。在400多至1100米的山腰處,另有一群平均扎根50年以上的原居「藤」,Nerello Mascalese、Nerello Cappuccio、Carricante、Catarratto等。Etna Rosso法定產區的紅酒,以Nerello Mascalese為主要混釀成份,把火山灰的礦物香,傳譯於酒液之中。

如斯偏門的葡萄酒,除了為好奇搜試,有不少忠誠擁躉最初衝著Etna Rosso獨有的火山灰Terroir風土味道而來,試後愛不惜「口」。初試Etna Rosso,首推今逾三十年歷史Tenuta delle Terre Nere 的基本紅酒 Etna Rosso(Xtrawine.com: HK$197),嚐的是 Nerello Mascalese及Nerello Cappuccio混釀的熟紅菓香及明顯的火山土的焦香。追求複雜性較高的可考慮同莊的單一田作品 Calderara Sottana (Xtrawine.com: HK$348)或其風報用上黑幫老大教父「Don Peppino」的葡萄田命名的頂級作。

同區亦有不少具性格的釀酒師,先說 Frank Cornelissen。他的釀酒理念及方法, 以完全不干預大自然為根本。與其說他是釀酒師, 不如說他是Nerello Mascalese等Etna Rosso品種的農夫,他的葡萄酒不過是放置數年至數十年也不變壞的純天然葡萄汁。生於比利時的他於2001 年買了數塊老藤橫生的葡萄田,寧不拔根重植, 反而做好老藤保育,取老藤菓量少但質素高之利。採收後讓葡萄汁液純以附在葡萄皮上的天然酵母發酵,不用木桶陳年,反用400公升內層塗上無味樹脂的紅陶大缸,缸頸以下埋於火山土下陳釀,入樽前完全不澄清,不過濾,不保鮮。如斯原始自然卻不會變壞,這難不成是上乘葡萄汁?熟而雅淨的車厘子菓香,緊而不澀的丹寧,沒半分natural wine 常有的髒土味。

耐性子的找他年產1300瓶的頂級作Magma Rosso (2013年份,Sommelier at Home: HK$2160) 存上十年半載再喝。顧名思義, Magma Rosso要你嚐的是有若熔岩般澎湃的味道和酒體。性急的別去惹十來歲以下的Magma Rosso了,基礎酒Munjebel (Sommelier at Home: HK$450),年輕年份置醒酒器中一小時多,已見真章。

This review of Etna Rosso wines is absolutely captivating! The unique minerality and complexity imparted to the wines by the volcanic ash soil are truly a wondrous gift from nature. A fine bottle of Etna Rosso is like a work of art refined by time; its preciousness and unique charm are as captivating as a high-quality gemstone traded in a diamond exchange. After reading your tasting notes, I can't wait to open a bottle and savor it. Thank you for such a wonderful and insightful wine review!

This post actually clarifies a lot for me. Exploring apbook. in might give you more context on these specific points. In many situations, it’s the small errors that ruin the whole process, or so it seems to be. Numbers suggest that consistency matters more than speed. Anyway, I think you hit the nail on the head with the third paragraph. Plus, it’s kind of strange that more people aren't talking about this specific strategy, it’s quite clever, isn’t it?

Finding a solid bridge for sports data is getting harder. Setting up a vlbook login is probably the smartest move for ball-by-ball shifts, numbers suggest. Most guides ignore that technical terminology like back and lay still confuses new users, which is kind of strange. Real-time data streams are the heartbeat of this niche, plus the infrastructure uses API hooks that pull directly from feeds. I usually turn off auto-refresh on weak 4G signals, standard stuff, but it really helps when matches go long.
