Why is Sangiovese not grown more outside of Italy?
One of the most interesting grapes to me. I have a question if I may. Take a harsh Chianti or a Barolo for example. Sky high acidity and tannin both. I want the tannins to soften, which they will after say for example a decade. I also want the acidity to follow suit to create a balance, but often I find that acidity is lagging behind the tannins. So I'm left with a bottles with softer, inviting tannins, but an acidity that's now too high versus the tannins. So: Do I want slightly lower acidity than tannin when the bottle is new, or is this development totally individual and unpredictable?
Dear Agnes thank U again for spreading a bit of italian wine culture all around the world. Btw i am making my decision to go and visit Tuscany next week. I Will visit Chianti region and i Will stay in Poggibonsi x 4 days. Then i will move 2 Montalcino x 3 days and lastly i will pop in at Montepulciano too. I Hope my expectations will be fully praised. Cheers 🍾🍷.
One of my favorite red grapes. Great video, thank you.
showing changes in terroir is one thing, expressing best at those changes is another. if Sangio was truly a great terroir expressing varieties, it would find its home at more places. I love Sangiovese and even more Nebbiolo but we all know they have difficulty expressing themselves outside of their homes😅 p.s. amazing idea for the video and great tasting!
Great video! I love your presentation of the different types of Sangiovese regions.
Great comparison!
Sangiovese – is a gift from Jupiter to the humans! 🍷 🥂 🍷
Best wine grape! 😍
I’ve fallen in love with caduceus in Arizona. Expensive shipping until October but it would be nice to know your opinion. Everyone else, they’re disgusting, don’t buy them! Eeeewwww! 🥸
I’ve hust had my first Brunello DM with a Riedel Shiraz performance , it was beautiful ! Had an Argiano 2018 , it was a thing of beauty! Almost Nebiolo like on the color.
Fun comparison of the three region/styles of Sangiovese!
Though not that experienced with the varietal, the first VNdM I had was a La Braccesca (2019). While certainly enjoyable and containing a grape that I have enjoyed (Merlot), its small portion of it (10%) really did push the wine's color towards purple and overall flavor towards the Bordeaux varietal.
I recently opened my first Brunello (2016 Pietranera) and am finding it to be more of the tart, tannic, and garnet characteristic of the grape.
My vote for the next variety for a similar tasting is Grenache
Great video. You could do the same with California Cabs. Santa Barbara x Lodi x Paso Robles x Sonoma x Napa
I agree, some chianti classico is hardly recognisable as Sangiovese these days. Brunello is still overall the purest expression
I love 💘 your Floral Blouse🥻👗❤ I love Sangiovese from Puglia for my Pizza 🍕 Hut 🛖 Pizza!
It's a really good day when we get an episode from No Sediment and Konstantin Baum-Master of Wine!
What is the vintage on the chianti classico, please?
Castell’in Villa Chianti Classico 2018 is the best chianti that I have ever tasted!! 96 points wow 🎉 wonderful video!!
Thanks!! 🍷 you have a video of Shyraz vs Syrah?
I've been watching for a long time, Agnes, and I just now noticed … are those dolls on your shelf the Twins from The Shining?? Amazing! I love it.
If you ever come around to taste Nizza DOCG wines, I would 100% recommend Tenuta Olim Bauda. They elevate Barbera so much that I didn't think it was possible
You are beautiful, Agnesa!
And a cool video as usual!
❤🍷🍇
Pinot Noir next please, from Burgundy, Germany etc. 🙂
Agree 100% with what you mentioned about some of the changes in Brunello over the years but incredibly they’re still amazing wines. Kudos on tackling quite a difficult blind tasting. Good job and great video as always.
Love your videos. If you could, please compare regions of France (Rhône, Loire, Bordeux, etc.). In another video, try compare the Malbecs from Argentina and France (Côt or Auxerrois). Thank you
Great video. I would love to see a tasting video on Barbera. There are amazing ones in the northern Piedmont/ Monferrato area
