nice mike. much clearer sound 😎 … brunello di montalcino is one of my favorites aswell 😊
Love Brunello. I have one bottle left of the unfashionable 2011 vintage, which will be drunk soon. Also, I have half a case each of the 2015 and 2016 in the merchant's cellars. I am thinking of taking delivery of the 2015 later this year.
Thanks again for an excellent video.
I have a Il Poggioni my friend has a Brunello Canalichio. What can I do? haha
Very good idea!
It’s not easy to find really good brunello nowadays ! But when you taste a truly good one , it has the power of elevate you. That’s why I call brunello , along with barolo, a meditation wine . You definitely have to set aside some time to open a bottle . And if it is a superb one , will , like a friend said in one of the comments , be a epiphany wine . Cheers and thanks for the content again !
You are a true Gem and deserving of at least 1M subscribers. Thank you for all you do 🍷
Very informative video, however presentation style is super monotonous.
Brunello is an interesting region indeed. There are sooooo many small and interesting producers making tiny quantities and it’s quite a trek to get out there. Nice selection
Always a masterclass! Studying for wset 3 and your videos is always a good break on the heavy duty study for the "fun time" study.👏👏👏
uhm… prices for Biondi-Santi and Soldera are really cruel! I'm currentliy lookint out for some Lisini and Castelgiocondo (Frescobaldi). Cheers!🍷
🍇 love the history lesson
🌼🍷 would you know if there are any good elderberry wines? I wonder what would happen if they mixed elderberries with grapes 🍇 to produce a wine, maybe they already do?
I'm asking because I placed a handful of dried elderberries in vodka that sat for a year, they've all dissolved, and it's fantastic! (smile) I'd also like to experiment with elderflowers and see what happens
Another great video John, on one of my favorite wines. Never had the pleasure of drinking a Soldera btw. (Smaller) wineries to watch as well are Romitorio and Ragnaie, both with more elevated vineyards. Salute!
I ❤ love your vids dude! You're Vinous 411 is some of the best, being offered on this platform! The Blood of Jupiter will always be my Italian Wife, with the other varietals in different regions across the boot my Italian mistresses ❤ 🍷 🍕 🥩 🫒
No love for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano? It’s just as great with a little more fruitiness. It’s Rosso (r-oh-so) di Montalcino.
Come see us in Alba and let's do a video together about Barolo and Barbaresco!
This BdM video has it all — history, scenery, terroir and climate discussion, farming practices, winemaking style, cellar defenders, the best of the best BdM producers, vintage recommendations, and other fascinating and relevant information. So comprehensive, informative, engaging, interesting — not a dull or unimportant moment; everything is ‘perfection’. And I love Soldera’s no spitting policy!😁 Santé, John!🍷
Such a beautiful town. We visited Padelletti winery, the oldest winery in the town!
For Biondi Santi Riserva- when you say "they'll top off your bottle" what do you mean?
Love Casanova di Neri, and Soldera is possibly the most special Italian wine (One has to taste it). I'd throw in Poggio di Sotto too!
How long would be the maximum for aging a brunello? i have 6 brunello's between 1998 and 2003 ! I wanted to open one tonight but unsure of how these wines age! thank you.
Collosorbo and il poggione, is some fantastic brunello di montalcino's. especially the riserva's, theres alot of weak thin brunello's out there. but collosorbo and il poggione are known for the fulbodied sangiovese wines.
