特拉帕尼及玛尔萨拉 Trapani&Marsala
Trapani and Marsala are both located on Sicily’s western coast, 30km apart from one another. Throughout their history, their importance as strategic centers lied in the trade with Africa.
特拉帕尼及玛尔萨拉均位于西西里岛西海岸地区，相距30公里。历史上一直是与非洲贸易的战略中心。
Their proximity to Africa has also always brought strong, seasonal dry winds which characterize the local climate, as well as cultural influences from the Arab world.
靠近非洲的地理位置使此地有干燥的强季风，在文化上也受阿拉伯地区的影响。
Near the coast, the dry and hot climate, as well as poor soils (ideal for viticulture), allow winemakers to obtain grapes with high sugar levels, low acidity and a tendency for oxidation after pressing, perfect for the production of Marsala wine.
In land, the hilly area is richer, with clay soils. The average temperature is one or two degrees lower, it is slightly rainier and the resulting vines have higher yields, but lower sugar levels.
位于海岸附近，气候干燥炎热， 土壤贫瘠（葡萄生长的理想环境）的客观情况使此地区种植的葡萄糖分很高，酸度较低，在压榨后氧化充分，非常适合生产马尔萨拉葡萄酒。内陆地区丘陵较多，土壤为粘土，平均温度比海岸地区低1到2度，雨量稍多，葡萄产量更高，但糖分略低。
On a hill near Trapani is the well-preserved medieval town of Erice, which attracts tourists and locals alike, especially as a shelter during the hot summer months, and is also hometo quality viticulture. The Erice wines gained DOC status in October 2004 fortheir red and white wines (including dry, sparkling, passito and late harvestwines), covering a number of towns and Trapani itself and therefore overlapping with Marsala DOC, which only covers fortified wines from the area.
According to DOC regulations, Erice whitewines are made from 60% Catarratto, and reds from 60% Nero d’Avola. As isalmost standard for Sicilian DOCs, these wines have the option of becoming riserva if aged for 24 months prior to release.
保存完好的中世纪小镇艾利斯位于特拉帕尼附近的山上，吸引着当地的居民和外地游客。尤其是在炎热的夏季，此处是很好的避暑胜地。此外，此地也出产优质葡萄。艾利斯产葡萄酒在2004年10月获得法定产地授权，包括红葡萄酒和白葡萄酒（干型，起泡型，帕西托及晚摘型葡萄酒）。特拉帕尼法定产区包括特拉帕尼及若干小镇，因此与马尔萨拉法定产区有所重叠。马尔萨拉法定产区只包括此地出产的强化葡萄酒。根据法定产区规定，艾利斯白葡萄酒由60%卡塔拉托酿制，红葡萄酒中黑达沃拉占60%。根据西西里岛的法定产区标准，这些葡萄酒在上市前陈酿至少24个月才可被称为“珍藏”。
Marsala is a Sicilian town which owes its fortunes to its utmost ambassador, Marsala wine. Marsala wine is the most commonly produced wine in Sicily and one of the first Sicilian DOCs. It wascreated “by accident”, when a British merchant, John Woodhouse, due to a thunder storm, looked for shelter in the harbor of Marsala. Woodhouse tried thelocal wine and decided to ship 60 barrels to the UK.
西西里岛的一个小镇马尔萨拉的命运与其出产的知名葡萄酒马尔萨拉息息相关。马尔萨拉是西西里岛最常见的葡萄酒，也是西西里岛的第一个法定产区。它的酿成“纯属偶然”。英国商人约翰·伍德豪斯为躲避雷雨来到了马尔萨拉港。豪斯品尝了当地的葡萄酒并决定运载60桶到英国。
Before shipping it, however, he added grapespirit to ensure the wine would not be affected by the long journey. When the wine reached its destination, being it a similar flavor profile to Port and Madeira,already very popular in the UK, it was a huge success. This fortified winepairs well with aged cheeses and dried fruits (gold and amber Marsala) and darkchocolate (ruby Marsala). It is also an excellent meditation wine.
运输前，为了确保这些酒能够在经过长途航运后不变质，他给每个酒桶多加了大约两加仑的酒精。当到达目的地时，此葡萄酒有了与波特葡萄酒和马德拉葡萄酒相似的味道，很受欢迎，因此取得了巨大成功。此加强葡萄酒与陈年奶酪及水果干（金色或琥珀色的马尔萨拉）和黑巧克力（红色马尔萨拉）非常相配。这也是一种非常好的冥想酒。
