Guilty! I love super Tuscans. Nice little video, when I did my super Tuscan blind tasting video the I thought the 2019 Cepparello was a Bordeaux blend
Nice video! I’ve been exploring a lot of Super Tuscans lately as one of the new shops in my town has a large variety available. Recently, I was looking for a more affordable 100% Merlot Super Tuscan option than Masseto, which is at a price range I can’t visit with regularity, and had been looking to try to get some Machiole Messorio to try. How does the Palafreno stack up against Messorio?
I Sodi di San Niccolò by Castellare di Castellina is an absolutely beautiful bottle of red wine, so glad you covered the Tuscans 🙂
I really enjoyed the video! Very informative and a great introduction to a variety of Super Tuscans!
Thanks for the video! I much enjoyed watching and nice to know a number of wines that I have not heard of. One of my joy is finding an affordable Super Tuscans as many of the price tags for famous wines are skyrocketing. Today I'd like to recommend Bolgheri Rosso Superiore from Tenuta Grattamacco. Great great quality and relatively affordable. Also would love to hear other subscribers' opinion if they have tried it 😊😊 Again, thanks for the well-made video, Agnese!
I have a bit of an obsession with Super-Tuscans lol. My fave is still Brunello but some Bordeaux blends are simply divine. The originals are always a sure thing yet, newer, less expensive expressions are very good as well. Isole e olena cepparello is a great example. This is one that is great as a collector as well as the Querciabella. Awesome video as always.
So cool!! your hair! wines! Thx for introducing nice wines everytimes 🙏🙏🙏
I've found your channell just recently and I like it a lot. I am not a proffesional, just a winelover, and as such I consider your clips very informative. Lot of information, focus on specific varieties, different regions and the wine tasting in generall, the overall concept is realy ballanced to mine opinion. Just keep going on.
I really appreciated your video on the Wachau region, the Steinfeder Gruener Veltliner is really a refreshing sommer wine. If you consider it a best kept secret, try to look on the Czech or Moravian wines.
Btw, nice look, before it was great, now it is even better. Sveika!
The law of diminishing returns does not apply to me, in regards to 🍷 Super Tuscans and Ribeye 🥩 Steak paired up, my thirst for that oh so superb style of wine 🍷 will never be quenched, and my insatiable appetite for Ribeye 🥩🍷 Steaks will never be satiated! 💞 💋 🍾🥂
Thoughts on Bibi Graetz? He has deliberately declassified his local grapes and makes some of the finest modern style Tuscan’s I’ve ever had.
It seems unfair that a 100% Sangiovese wine should called Super Tuscan. To me, that should be for a wine made with some Bordeaux varietals. The rebels earned it. 😁
I happened to visit your channel, and had no choice but to subscribe!!! Awesome content and useful information. I am looking forward to the next video. Cheers🍷
