2006 La Stoppa Barbera Della Stoppa

From the legendary natural winemakers at La Stoppa, under the visionary leadership of Elena Pantaleoni, comes the "Barbera Della Stoppa" 2006. This is a wine produced only in exceptional years, and 2006 was one of them. Hailing from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, the Barbera grapes are grown on old vines in poor, clay-limestone soil. True to La Stoppa's minimal-intervention philosophy, the grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a long, natural fermentation on skins for around 40 days. After a year in large, old oak barrels, it was then aged in the bottle for many years to achieve a beautiful maturity.

Aroma & Palate | A complex and evolved profile with notes of dried red fruit, ripe cherry, and plum, complemented by tertiary notes of leather, earthy mushrooms, and tobacco. Still vibrant and fresh, with a pleasant acidity and silky tannins that have softened with age.

這款 2006 年「Barbera Della Stoppa」來自傳奇的天然酒莊 La Stoppa，由富有遠見的 Elena Pantaleoni 領導。這款酒只在卓越的年份釀造，而 2006 年便是其中之一。葡萄源自意大利艾米利亞-羅馬涅（Emilia-Romagna）地區，生長在貧瘠的黏土和石灰岩土壤中的老藤上。秉承 La Stoppa 的低度干預哲學，葡萄經人工採收後，帶皮進行長達約 40 天的天然發酵。酒液在大型舊橡木桶中陳釀一年，然後再在瓶中陳年多年，達致優雅的成熟度。

風味 | 口感複雜而成熟，帶有乾紅果、熟櫻桃和梅子的氣息，並輔以皮革、泥土蘑菇和煙草等陳年風味。酒體依然充滿活力和清新感，酸度宜人，單寧隨著歲月變得絲滑柔順。
