Description

Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo CastelleroVijf generaties Fenocchio's produceren sinds 1894 wijn uit hun bezit in Monforte d'Alba. Het grootste deel van de productie werd lokaal verkocht tot 1964, toen de ambitieuze en energieke Giacomo Fenocchio het landgoed overnam. In zijn zoektocht om de beste wijnen in heel Barolo te maken, kocht hij eersteklas percelen in Cannubi en het nabijgelegen Castellero, maar zijn focus lag altijd op wat hij graag het hart van het Barolo gebied noemde, Bussia.

Vijf generaties Fenocchio's produceren sinds 1894 wijn uit hun bezit in Monforte d'Alba. Het grootste deel van de productie werd lokaal verkocht tot 1964, toen de ambitieuze en energieke Giacomo Fenocchio het landgoed overnam. In zijn zoektocht om de beste wijnen in heel Barolo te maken, kocht hij eersteklas percelen in Cannubi en het nabijgelegen Castellero, maar zijn focus lag altijd op wat hij graag het hart van het Barolo-gebied noemde, Bussia.

Het succes van Fenocchio

In april 1989 stierf Giacomo en liet zijn jonge zoon Claudio alle landbouw- en wijnbereidingstaken voor het landgoed over. Zoals Claudio het uitlegt, was het een uitdagende tijd voor Barolo. Veel producenten probeerden een "nieuwe manier" te vinden om Barolo te maken en hadden groot commercieel succes; maar Claudio is nooit van het pad van de traditie afgedwaald. Hij bleef zijn wijnen produceren met de aloude technieken van de klassieke stijl: biologische landbouw, met lange fermentaties op de huid en alleen rijping in grote Slavische eikenhouten vaten. De Nebbiolo druiven voor deze Barolo zijn afkomstig uit de cru Castellero. De wijngaarden hebben een westelijke ligging op een hoogte van 280 meter boven zeeniveau. De bodem bestaat uit mergel met tufsteen en vooral veel zand. De 30 jaar oude wijnstokken profiteren van deze bodem en ontwikkelen daardoor bijzondere eigenschappen. De druiven worden volledig met de hand geoogst waarna een traditionele lange maceratie volgt. De fermentatie met natuurlijke gisten vindt plaats voor 40 dagen in roestvrijstalen tanks. Daarna volgt een rijping van zes maanden in roestvrijstalen tanks gevolgd door 30 maanden houtlagering in Slavonisch eikenhouten vaten. Na de botteling blijven de flessen nog enkele maanden in de wijnkelders.

Geniet van de fluweelzachte Barolo Castellero

De kleur is klassiek intens granaatrood, schoon en van goede substantie in de neus met bloemige en fruitige tonen met tonen van zoethout en wortels. Karaktervolle wijn met uitgesproken tannines. Fluweelzacht en harmonieus met tonen van zoete kruiden en jam. De Barolo Castellero past erg goed bij rood vlees, wild en oude kaas.

Better than the movie
Format: Kindle
I really loved this book. The Disney movie was clearly only very loosely based on this wonderful story. I’m actually kinda mad I ever saw the movie because it kept me from the book for so long.

A fairytale classic made even better!
Format: Paperback
Embellishing on the original tale of Cinderella, Gail Levine has written an imaginative and touching story - a classic in its own right. While the traditional fairytale focuses on the magical rags-to-riches transformation of a scullery maid into a princess, Levine's heroine is very real in both her defeats and her triumphs. Ella is a wonderful character whose unwavering sense of humor and refusal to succumb make her an endearing heroine whom the reader eagerly follows through her journeys. The friendship that she shares with Prince Char, her struggles to break the curse placed on her at birth, the pain and the joy that she feels at each turn of events are drawn with a clarity and poignant charm that make this a unique story all its own. There is, of course, glass slippers, a ball, the pumpkin coach - but this story goes far beyond the original to become something more. It is not just about one magical night that makes a servant into a princess; it is about the life of a girl who is more than what she seems and has only to realize it for herself to make her wishes come true. Ella Enchanted is a wonderful story for readers of all ages, and there is an amazing depth to this tale that cannot help but make you think. Despite the omnipresent existence of magic and the whimsical creatures that include everything from gnomes and elves to giants and ogres, the focus of the story is very real. We are, each of us, a little bit like Ella - struggling to be who we are while everything around us tries to make us otherwise. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves fairytales and children's books - especially to anyone who loves the story of Cinderella.

Timeless
Format: Hardcover
My first born daughter is literally named Ella after Ella Enchanted. This is the most meaningful children’s book I ever experienced in childhood and it continues to hold up as I have reread it to my Ella in parenthood. It’s still so fun and magical and heartfelt. Thank you Gail Carson Levine for this literary gem!

Beloved childhood classic for a reason
Format: Paperback
Not to give away my age, but I owned this book when I was younger and lent it to a friend and never got it back. I finally gave into my desire to own it again and purchased it from amazon. I'm so happy that I did. This book definitely holds up even after all these years. It's this kind of writing that helped me fall in love with the idea of being a writer. I've read some of Gail Carson Levine's other books and enjoyed them to varying degrees. I remember reading The Wish and thinking, even as a child, that it was incredibly bland. But Ella Enchanted is truly one of her gems. It is heartfelt and well-written with a truly wonderful heroine. Now that I'm older I do see more of the problems. The writing is a lot simpler than I remember but I suppose that it needs to be for the reading level of the target audience so I won't count that as a negative. As with most young adult novels, it is on the shorter side. This leads to some awkward pacing and a lack of development. There's not really enough of her friend Areida or her adventures. The romance with Char is underdeveloped though conveyed skillfully enough that by the end I was very invested in the outcome. The ending and epilogue after the dramatic conclusion also come across as a little rushed. Still, I think it's a wonderful story for young girls and a truly inspiring heroine for them to identify with. For older readers, it's a pleasant diversion. The strength of the story is Ella and the way Levine writes the scenes that are meant to have a big emotional impact. I understand when people say the story meanders a bit and how it could be boring for some people. Levine doesn't do a great job with descriptions despite the complexity of the world she's imagined. It's difficult to really picture anything in your head based on the descriptions she gives. She's not a world-builder like the big name fantasy writers. She's more interested in the characters and the main plot arc for the heroine. I would recommend this book for a reader or parent looking for a strong, believable female protagonist. It's not a great fantasy novel and it's a little underdeveloped but the individual scenes are well written and the emotion, lesson, and strong character arc are there. I'd also recommend getting the new version as there are great extras including information about the languages Levine developed for the various creatures in the world of Ella Enchanted. I don't remember these being included in the first edition.
