Feudo Maccari Saia Sicilia IGT 2010

It is easy to find low price and interesting Italian wines. From my experience, some of it can be enjoyed, when it is still young. It may not take too much time for maturation in cellar. Of course those are not the finest Italian wine. It is an average priced and made with traditional grapes Nero D’ Avola Feudo Maccari Saia Sicilia IGT. Nero D’Avola (AKA: Calabrese and Black of Avola) originates in Sicily. The characteristic of Nero D’Avola is dark skinned grape with high tannins, medium acid and full body. The wine of this grape can be aged in oak barrels or drink it young fresh. When the wine is young, it shows plum, red fruits flavors and juicy. Some wine will be blended with Syrah.

The winery is located in Sicily Noto, the soil of vineyards is volcano earth (limestone). It is exposed to the southern side. Saia made with 100 % Nero D’Avola, the vinifications are controlled-temperature fermentation, maceration for about 20 days, aging in French oak and bottle age 6 months before release. 

My taste note: ruby red color shows red fruit, plum, vanilla and oak. Palate is sweet medium dry, full body, dense tannins and lively acid. At the end it shows very lovely jammy fruit and rich. If, you like fruity wine, it should be a good choice.   

很容易就可以找到一枝低價錢和好喝的意大利葡萄酒. 從我的經驗意大利葡萄酒都可以比較早去享受, 不需要太花時間去在酒窖成熟. 當然我不是說哪些名貴的意大利葡萄酒. 而是一枝大眾價錢用上意大利傳統葡萄Nero D’ Avola 的Feudo Maccari Saia Sicilia IGT. Nero D’Avola (又名: Calabrese and Black of Avola)是來自西西里島(Sicily). 這款葡萄的特徵是有深色果皮, 高單寧, 中等酸度, 和 Full Body. 這款葡萄的酒可以在木桶上成熟或可以年輕時飲用. 當年輕時這款葡萄酒會顯示出西梅(李子), 紅色水果, juicy 和 fruity. 有些葡萄酒跟希拉(Syrah) 混合釀製.

這個酒莊位於Sicily Noto, 葡萄園是在火山岩泥土(石灰岩)上. 它的日曬是向南部. Saia 是用100% Nero D’Avola, 釀酒過程有溫度控制發酵, 浸皮大約20天, 在法國木桶成熟, 裝瓶後再成熟多六個月才出售.

我的品酒筆記 : 紅寶石色, 顯示出紅色水果, 西梅(李子), 香草和木桶香. 口感是甜medium dry, 厚身, 濃重的單寧, 活潑的酸度. 最後有一重優美的果香 Jammy Fruit 和豐厚. 如果你喜歡Fruity 的葡萄酒, 這款酒可能是不錯的選擇.
