[一起坐上時光機 尋找童年的快樂]

滿滿的香蕉糕香氣，即開即有，彷彿坐上了時光機，穿越了時空，回到小孩年代，看着媽媽在節日時於家中親手製造香蕉糕，每個小孩都期待萬分！

來自意大利南部 Campania 行政區，以當地非常罕有的原生葡萄品種 100% 的Coda di Volpe 。Coda di Volpe 這意大利文解作「狐狸尾巴」，這品種在葡萄成熟時，樣子長得像狐狸尾巴一樣重隨着時間過去，酒品的味道也開始綻放，就像吃到香蕉糕懷舊點心的底層，感動味蕾之餘，更帶來一段完美的親子時光！

食物配搭：不用任何配搭，一切隨心就好。

Snappy, salty, stone-fruited joy. It starts with aromas of tangy peach and lemon with a whiff of salty seaside air. Then it's fresh and vibrant in your mouth, with flavors of just-ripe stone fruit (peach, apricot), lemon drops, crisp apple and loads of salty, mouthwatering, minerality. And while there's enough acidity here to balance pair perfectly with shellfish and all kinds of seafood, it's round and smooth enough at the end for very happy solo sipping, too.

The very old and - until recently - quite rare Coda di Volpe grape from Campania, Italy. It's been grown here for millennia and is also known as Falerno because it's thought to have been the basis for Rome's most famous wine (also known as Falernum).  It's a gangly, strung-out, grape bunch with a long "foxes tail" at the end. Left to its own devices, it gives a soft, round, wine that's often used to mellow more tart and biting Fiano and Falanghina. But when grown on volcanic soils, kept to lower yields, and picked just right, it can deliver the same kind of salty, minerally, zest we love in wines like Muscadet and Albarino. Delicious stuff!
