点评:There are many Estates, but only one castle, Castello di Amorosa. Based on a medieval Italian castle, this edifice was built with actual ruins, brought from all over Europe. Artesians, painters and metal workers were also imported to make the castle as accurate as possible. Castello di Amorosa is on TripAdvisor top ten castle tours in the world. The tour starts in the chapel, winds its way up a few floors then thru the bowels of the castle stores, armory and dungeon. Tasting a new wine directly from the barrel was an unexpected treat. Matteo our guide was a very nice young man from Italy and well-versed in both the history of the castle as well as wine. At the end, we got to choose 5 more tastings from a list of about 25 bottles. Besides finding a new wine, I came home with Fig & Zinfandel soap, a white tea scented candle and some Belgian chocolates. Although I spent nearly 3 hrs there, the tour was not tiring and seemed to go quickly with so much to see. A great experience for both wine and history lovers.
翻译:这里有很多庄园,但只有一座城堡——阿莫罗萨城堡(Castello di Amorosa)。这座城堡以一座中世纪意大利城堡为原型,建造过程中使用了从欧洲各地运来的真实遗址。为了尽可能还原城堡的原貌,工匠、画家和金属工匠也被特地请来。阿莫罗萨城堡位列TripAdvisor全球十大城堡之旅榜单。参观从教堂开始,蜿蜒而上几层,然后穿过城堡的仓库、军械库和地牢。直接从酒桶里品尝新酒真是一个意外的惊喜。我们的导游马泰奥是一位非常友善的意大利小伙子,他对城堡的历史和葡萄酒都非常了解。最后,我们还可以从大约25种葡萄酒中挑选5种进行品鉴。除了找到一款新酒之外,我还带回了无花果仙粉黛香皂、一支白茶香薰蜡烛和一些比利时巧克力。虽然我在那里待了将近三个小时,但参观过程并不觉得累,反而感觉时间过得很快,因为有很多东西可以看。对于葡萄酒爱好者和历史爱好者来说,这都是一次很棒的体验。
