点评:A wonderful return to a very special place
We have been coming to Decugnano dei Barbi for many years, although yesterday was our first visit for about three years. Returning after that time was a real pleasure, and what struck us most was the wonderful continuity of the place, the welcome and, above all, the wines. It genuinely felt like a homecoming.
The setting, of course, remains quite extraordinary. The landscape and views across the countryside around the vineyard and towards Orvieto are beautiful, and the estate itself has a sense of history and character that makes it so much more than simply a place to taste wine. The old chapel used as the tasting room is particularly lovely and provides a wonderfully atmospheric setting for the experience.
Our visit was made especially enjoyable by Angelica, whose warmth, enthusiasm and knowledge were evident throughout. She has that rare ability to share a great deal of information without ever making it feel like a lesson. She brought the wines to life by explaining not only how they are made, but also the terroir, the history of the estate and the traditions that lie behind them. We came away with a much greater appreciation of what makes the wines of Decugnano distinctive.
And then, of course, there are the wines themselves. Having tasted them over a number of years, what impressed us most yesterday was their remarkable consistency. Not consistency in the sense of standing still, but a consistency of character and quality that speaks volumes about the care and attention that goes into producing them. To return after several years and find that same sense of identity and exceptionally high standards was particularly rewarding.
That, for us, is one of the great strengths of Decugnano dei Barbi. It is a place where the wine, the landscape, the history and the people all belong together. There is a genuine sense that maintaining quality and giving visitors a wonderful experience really matters.
We love Decugnano dei Barbi and would recommend a visit without hesitation, whether you are already familiar with the wines of Orvieto or are discovering them for the first time. For us, yesterday was a reminder of why we have returned so many times over the years — and we certainly won't leave it another three years before coming back.
翻译:一次回到这个无比特别之地的美妙体验
多年来我们一直造访Decugnano dei Barbi,不过昨天是我们三年来的首次到访。时隔许久再度归来真是令人愉悦,最让我们赞叹的便是这里的完美延续性——无论是待客之道,尤其是那些美酒。那种感觉真的就像回到了家一般。
当然,这里的环境依旧堪称非凡。葡萄园周围的乡村景色以及远眺奥维多城的景致极为迷人。这片庄园本身也承载着厚重的历史与独特的气质,因此它绝不仅仅是一个品酒之地。用作品酒室的古老小教堂格外精美,为整个品酒体验营造出了极为浪漫而惬意的氛围。
我们的参观之旅因安杰丽卡而变得更加愉快——她的热情、热心以及丰富的专业知识在整个过程中都展现得淋漓尽致。她拥有一种难能可贵的能力:能够传递大量信息,却丝毫不会让人觉得像是在上课。她不仅解释了葡萄酒的酿造过程,还讲述了产地的风土条件、酒庄的历史以及背后的传统,让这些葡萄酒仿佛活了过来。我们因此对Decugnano的葡萄酒为何如此与众不同有了更深刻的理解。
当然,还有那些葡萄酒本身。多年来,我们也多次品尝过它们。昨天最让我们印象深刻的就是他们出色的连贯性。这种连贯性并非指一成不变,而是指其风格与品质始终如一,充分体现了生产过程中的用心与细致。时隔数年再度到访,仍能感受到那种鲜明的独特风格以及极高的质量标准,实在令人欣慰。
对我们而言,这正是Decugnano dei Barbi的显著优势之一。这是一个葡萄酒与自然风光相得益彰的地方。这里的历史与人们息息相关。人们真心觉得,保持品质、为访客带来美妙的体验至关重要。
我们非常喜爱Decugnano dei Barbi酒庄,无论您是否已经了解奥尔维托地区的葡萄酒,都毫不犹豫地推荐您前去探访。昨天这段经历再次让我们明白,为何这些年来我们一次次重返此地——今后我们肯定不会再等上三年才回来啦。
