点评:Ca’ del Baio has been one of our favorite wineries – even overall favorite places – in Italy for three trips and many, many years. What a fabulous facility run by an even more fabulous group of people – mostly women! Mom, dad, sisters Paola, Federica and Valentina, and ‘adopted’ sister Federica go well beyond welcoming when greeting and hosting visitors. On our first trip, we were even invited to eat with the family and that meal remains perhaps the best one we’ve ever had in Italy.
Our latest trip, in the fall of 2024, came at a difficult time as the grapes were ripening in the fields and the rain was nearly constant. The day of our visit, the rain finally provided a reprieve and we would have been happy to leave them to their incredibly heavy workload by skipping this visit, but they were, as always, ready and willing to share their wonderful wines and amazing charm with us.
Federica (who calls herself their adopted sister), charmed us from the moment we entered the courtyard until we left hours later. Her warmth reflects the attitude of the family and the winery.
For us, no trip to Italy would be complete without a trip to Ca’ del Baio.
翻译:三次旅行和许多年里,Ca’ del Baio 一直是我们在意大利最喜欢的酒庄之一,甚至是我们最喜欢的地方。这是一个多么棒的设施,由一群更棒的人经营——大多数是女性!妈妈、爸爸、姐妹 Paola、Federica 和 Valentina 以及“养女”Federica 在迎接和招待游客时,远远超出了欢迎的范畴。在我们的第一次旅行中,我们甚至被邀请与家人一起吃饭,那顿饭可能是我们在意大利吃过的最好的一顿饭。
我们最近一次旅行是在 2024 年秋天,当时正值艰难时期,因为葡萄在田野里成熟,雨水几乎不断。我们访问的那天,雨终于缓解了压力,我们本想让他们继续繁重的工作,不去这次访问,但他们一如既往地准备好并愿意与我们分享他们美妙的葡萄酒和令人惊叹的魅力。
Federica(自称是他们的养女)从我们进入庭院的那一刻起就一直吸引着我们,直到几个小时后我们离开。她的热情体现了家人和酒庄的态度。
对我们来说,没有去过 Ca’ del Baio,意大利之旅就不算完整。
