Giovanni Corino -- 像 Pomerol一樣優雅細緻的 Barolo－夢幻酒鋪 (酩豐)

Giovanni Corino

The Corino brothers are the rising stars of Piedmont: “Readers looking for up-front, sexy Barolos made with a Pomerol-like lushness should check out those from this La Morra producer" -Robert Parker, Jr.

Corino 兄弟是 Piedmont 的明日之星 : 消費者要找尋一款有活力又性感的 Barolos，且要像 Pomerol 一樣的優雅，就應該去試試 La Morra 產區裡 Corino 的酒。- Robert Parker, Jr.

Giovanni Corino 於 1952 年在 La Morra 買了葡萄園釀酒，大部分的酒都是賣給了其他酒商，只留少部份賣給親戚朋友，直到兩個兒子 Renato (1963)、Giuliano (1968)長大後才創立自己的品牌。在 2001 年兩兄弟決定把繼承父親的酒莊 (位於 Arborina 產區) 一分為二，哥哥 Renato Corino (本公司已代理進口)繼承的葡萄園離原酒莊有一公里遠，並在葡萄園旁蓋新的酒莊，弟弟 Giuliano Corino 則延用父親的酒莊及名稱 Giovanni Corino。

Corino 的酒款深受良師益友 Elio Altare 的影響，在 1987 年 Renato 和 Giuliano 兩兄弟聽從好友 Elio Altare 的建議，進行疏果降底產量以提升品質，並購買不鏽鋼桶發酵，使用法國小橡木桶儲酒。縮短發酵前低溫浸泡的時間只有4-5天，發酵後依個別酒款儲藏在橡木桶中，最長達24個月，因此年產量非常稀少只有3700箱。

Corino 兄弟是 Piedmont 裡的明日之星，他們的酒是 La Morra 產區 Barolo的美麗典範，因為 Corino 擁有 La Morra 裡三個最優秀的單一Grand Cru葡萄園—Arborina、Giachini 和 Rocche，均是最具代表性及最令人贊嘆的酒款。莊主 Giuliano Corino 釀出的酒擁有濃郁的果味，一系列的酒款都有如天鵝絨般光滑，複雜的層次不僅芳香且有不可思議的優雅酒質，均衡的酸度和細緻的單寧讓他們的酒是如此的完美。

Robert Parker 最新評論如下 :

“Proprietor Giuliano Corino has a stunning set of 2007 Baroli on his hands. The wines capture the ripe, open style of the vintage while preserving considerable freshness, aromatic complexity and structure. These are wonderfully complete Baroli that merit serious consideration. I expect most of the wines will drink well with a minium of cellaring, and continue to develop complexity with further time in bottle.”

Bright ruby-red. Sexy perfume of plum, brown spices and minerals. Sweet, fleshy and ripe but with plenty of underlying structure and power. This very concentrated 2006 is best today on the very long, suave back end, which displays excellent energy, a note of dried flowers and an enticing oaky sweetness. Score 93 – International Wine Cellar.

This exudes warmth and richness, combining black cherry, licorice and spice flavors in a harmonious way. Showing sweetness and a long tobacco-tinged aftertaste, this is very elegant. Best from 2012 through 2025. 541 cases made. Score 93 – Wine Spectator.

散發出溫暖和豐富的香氣，黑苺、甘草和香料等味道非常協調的融合在一起，呈現出甜美和悠長的菸草似的餘韻，真的非常優雅。

Deep ruby-red. Ripe aromas of cherry, raspberry, leather and rose petal. Lush, sweet and intense, with very good energy and grip for a basic Barolo. Nicely integrated acidity extends the spicy finish. Score 90 – International Wine Cellar.
