今天蚂蚁庄园小课堂的答案:揭秘卡拉布里亚家族酒庄的传奇故事
在澳大利亚南部新南威尔士州,隐藏着一个葡萄酒领域的小确幸——卡拉布里亚家族酒庄。这个名字背后,是一段始于1945年的移民故事,以及三代人的辛勤汗水和对传统的坚持。
弗朗西斯科·卡拉布里亚与妻子伊丽莎白带着七个孩子,从意大利迁至澳大利亚,他们在瑞福利纳地区定居,并购买了五英亩土地。这里不仅是他们开始新生活的地方,也成为了他们酿造葡萄酒梦想的起点。弗朗西斯科用自己的双手种植葡萄,他酿出的每一瓶葡萄酒都承载着家乡的地中海风情,深受当地意大利人和欧洲人的喜爱。
sons, Bill and Tony, began learning the art of winemaking from their father at the tender age of 14. The Calabria Family Wines has been family-owned and operated for over three generations. Today, Bill Calabria is the owner and winemaker, along with his wife Lena and their four children - Frank, Michael, Andrew, and Elizabeth.
The vineyards are located in Australia's South Australia region in Barossa Valley and New South Wales' Riverina area. For over 150 years, Barossa Valley has produced many fine wines that have nurtured six generations of grape growers and winemakers. The climate here is similar to a Mediterranean climate; Calabria Family Wines boasts century-old vines producing fruit-forward red wines. Riverina also belongs to a Mediterranean climate with abundant rainfall concentrated during winter months; soil types vary greatly here too - deep red to brown clay soils make it an ideal place for growing grapes.
Calabria Family Wines employs pumping over techniques during wine production where grape juice is pumped from the bottom of fermentation tanks up to the top again through immersion into the must (unfermented grape juice). This technique breaks down skins on contact with juice resulting in color extraction. Before pumping over occurs, cooling takes place by chilling grape juice before fermentation so as not to increase temperatures too much due to heat generated by yeast activity during fermentation.
Today Calabria Family Wines produces Riesling dry white wine (Riesling), Sauvignon Blanc longan white wine (Sauvignon Blanc), Sauvignon Blanc Blush mix-cuvée (Sauvignon Blanc Blush), Pinot Noir red wine (Pinot Noir) among others. These wines have won numerous awards in international competitions such as Germany's Mundus Vini Great International Wine Awards where they garnered two gold medals in 2015; five gold medals at Australian National Wine Shows held annually since 2014.
In summary today's Ants Farm small class answers reveal a story that transcends time: love for land nourished by tradition blended with innovation inspired by passion for creating exquisite wines shared among friends & family across continents!
