点评:We're from California wine country, so we've done our fair share of wine tastings over the years. Back home we only belong to one wine club because for us, it has to feel right - like you're part of something special, not just buying wine. After visiting Leuta, we joined our second.
Denis, the owner, hosted our private tasting and honestly it was such a refreshing change from the typical winery experience. No rushing, no feeling like you're on a conveyor belt. Jennifer walked us through the vineyards and showed us the production side of things. She really knows her stuff and you could tell how much work goes into every bottle. It gave us a whole new appreciation for what we were drinking.
We specifically picked Leuta because we didn't want one of those bus tours where you hit 5 wineries in a day and stumble back to your hotel barely remembering anything. We wanted something more personal and intimate, and that's exactly what we got.
The Cab Franc was incredible - definitely my favorite, though a few others were right up there. I was also really impressed with the Sauvignon Blanc. I'm big on crisp whites and this one hit all the right notes.
But honestly, what made the whole thing memorable was just how welcome we felt. The conversations, the relaxed vibe, getting to know Denis and Jennifer - that's what turned a wine tasting into a genuinely special afternoon for our family of four.
We're already planning our next trip back to Cortona and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommend if you want a real, authentic winery experience.
翻译:我们来自加州葡萄酒之乡,所以这些年来我们品酒经验丰富。在家乡,我们只参加过一个葡萄酒俱乐部,因为对我们来说,这需要一种恰到好处的感觉——感觉自己参与到某个特别的事物中,而不仅仅是买酒。参观了莱乌塔之后,我们加入了第二个。
酒庄老板丹尼斯为我们安排了私人品酒会,说实话,这与传统的酒庄体验截然不同。没有匆忙,也没有像在传送带上一样的感觉。詹妮弗带我们参观了葡萄园,并向我们展示了酒庄的生产过程。她对葡萄酒非常了解,你可以看出每一瓶酒都倾注了多少心血。这让我们对所品尝的葡萄酒有了全新的认识。
我们特意选择了莱乌塔,因为我们不想参加那种一天参观5个酒庄,然后踉踉跄跄地回到酒店,几乎什么都不记得的巴士之旅。我们想要一种更私人、更私密的体验,而我们得到的正是这样的体验。
Cab Franc 简直太棒了——绝对是我的最爱,虽然其他几款也毫不逊色。长相思也给我留下了深刻的印象。我偏爱清爽的白葡萄酒,而这款酒恰到好处。
但说实话,真正让我们难忘的是感受到的热情款待。轻松的交谈、轻松的氛围,以及对 Denis 和 Jennifer 的了解——这些都让这次品酒会变成了我们一家四口真正特别的下午。
我们已经在计划下次科尔托纳之旅了,迫不及待地想再次造访。如果你想体验真正的原汁原味的酒庄体验,强烈推荐这家酒庄。
