点评:Podere Le Ripi is undeniably beautiful. The property, surrounding views and agriculture are stunning, and the staff we interacted with were friendly and welcoming. From a scenery standpoint, I completely understand why it is so heavily featured across social media and travel websites.
We booked largely because it was repeatedly recommended as a “must-see” winery in the area. While I’m glad we saw the property, the wine experience itself did not quite live up to the hype for us.
As people who really enjoy wine and have visited wine regions around the world, we found the wines fairly average at best. We also did not realize beforehand how young many of their vines are, and for our palates, that seemed to translate into wines with less complexity and a very dominant earthy character.
The tour itself was also much briefer than we expected. We would have enjoyed more depth around the history of the winery, winemaking process and overall wine education. If we visited again, we would probably skip the tour and instead choose a different tasting option with a broader mix of reds and whites rather than focusing so heavily on the earthy reds (especially in the hot of summer)
One practical tip: wear supportive shoes with good traction! Much of the property is gravel and unpaved. I wore Birkenstocks, and when the gravel became slippery, it was definitely not the smartest footwear choice and I went sliding downhill.
Overall, Podere Le Ripi is beautiful and worth seeing if the setting and architecture are a priority. But if you are someone primarily looking for a richer wine-focused experience, though, I personally would choose a smaller family-owned winery with older vines and more history next time.
I’m glad we can say we visited once, but it will not be a repeat destination for us.
翻译:Podere Le Ripi的美景绝对令人赞叹。庄园及其周围的景色、农田都美不胜收,我们遇到的工作人员也十分友善热情。从风景角度来看,我完全理解为何它在各大社交平台和旅游网站上备受推崇。
我们之所以预订这里,主要是因为它被多次推荐为该地区“不容错过的”酒庄。虽然能参观这座庄园让我们感到高兴,但对我们而言,实际的品酒体验并未达到预期。作为真正喜爱葡萄酒且走访过世界各地葡萄酒产区的人,我们认为这里的葡萄酒顶多只能算中等水平。我们事先也没想到这里的葡萄藤大多非常年轻;以我们的口味来说,这导致酿出的葡萄酒缺乏层次感,且泥土气息过于浓重。
此外,参观行程的时间也比我们预想的要短得多。我们原本希望能在酒庄的历史、酿酒流程以及葡萄酒相关知识方面获得更多介绍。如果我们下次再去,很可能会跳过导览环节,转而选择另一种品酒方式——即品尝种类更丰富的红葡萄酒与白葡萄酒,而不再仅仅专注于那些带有泥土风味的红酒(尤其是在炎热的夏季)。
一个实用的建议:请穿上具备良好防滑性能的鞋子!庄园里很多地方都是碎石路或未铺砌的小径。我当时穿的是勃肯鞋,当碎石路面变得湿滑时,这显然不是最明智的鞋类选择,结果我直接滑下了山坡。
总的来说,。Podere Le Ripi景色优美,如果环境与建筑风格是你看重的因素,那这里绝对值得一游。不过,如果你更希望获得一次以品酒为核心的深度体验,我个人建议下次选择一家规模较小、由家族经营、拥有老葡萄藤且历史悠久的酒庄。
很高兴我们曾经到访过一次,但对我们而言这里不会成为常去的目的地。
