I’m not an expert, but I am an alcoholic and I must say Italy is off the charts with so many amazing red wine varietals and they’ve certainly stepped up there white wine game in recent years.

The first time i fell in love with italian wine is about 3 years ago. My wife had a botlle from Fratelli Trevisani Diana Benaco Bresciano Rosso year 2000. She doesn't like red wine so i thought lets try this wine from almost 17 years old, of it's still good. I opened the botlle and WOW!! I thought what is this?! That was unbelieveble, that was the first time i fell in love with wine. So much flavors, fruit, creamy, rich, ripe tannins but soft in the mouth. I drank the whole botlle, and thought if i have this with every wine, i am going to have a problem. I started to explore more italian wines, and they are still my favorite wines. Appassimento for example, love it. I prefer italian over french thats for sure. Thanx for your great comments on italian wines. I am Dutch by the way

WOOW! I asked about more details on Italian wine, and you put out this great video; while we are spending 3 weeks traveling Italy. Perfect timing, and great information. Love what you do! You guys are the best REAL info on on internet. THANK YOU!

Madeline, thank you for all the info you're sharing. You're the best. 🤘🥂

So glad I found your channel, renewing my interest in wine. You taste the varietals i love. Another great video.

I like so much this kind of videos , thanks a lot for the information Madeline.

Excellent selection for beginners especially the Vietti, Produttori del Barbaresco, and the Tenute delle Tere Nere!

As someone who comes from a family full of beer "enthusiasts" who think that wine is for snobs and girly men, I love that you throw that misconception out the window. When I watch your vids, I feel like I'm listening to a friend instead of a teacher. I've been a fan of the Somm trilogy and I love your enthusiasm and the bubbliness that you bring to the documentaries and I love Wine Folly! Your videos and material have helped me learn so much about wine. You make learning about wine fun and interesting and your charisma makes it that much more enjoyable to watch.

about the volcano wine, is a way fun to discover, the characteristic of nerello mascaslese similar to pinot noir , but the rocks mineral nosing is so fantastic , since the vineyard grow near the volcano, the soil provide a huge nutrient to the vine , and wine maker claim they are using organic method to grow and harvest. and a hell yeah, you only can found in italian wine at this moment.

Have you tried Sardinian wines yet? I'd love to watch a tasting video from you about them!

Hi Madeline - love your style of making wine approachable and fun. Can you make a video on Brunello di Montalcino? How to identify good producers, how long to age it, whether or not to decant it, etc? To me, Brunello can be one of the most profound and beautiful wines, but they can also be one of the most fickle! Would love to get your take

There are masses of Italian wines but the same ones are not always available so I forget which ones I liked. Colpertrone was my favorite but it’s not available anymore. Conterno has become too pricey and hard to find. So I don’t have a favorite because I cannot have one. A big fave is northern Italian white. Superb. Not available at all. Sanct Valentin. I always decant Italian wines as they are often woody or dry raisin flavored. Decanting is really essential. Then there is Bruno Giacosa just too expensive but I might try some for Year End.

Hey there, you forgot the Valpolicella region, they produce great wines there.. as it is with Amarone!

That was a young Nebbiolo that you and she drank. They are supposed to be aged 10+ years. I had a 8 year old bottle once with flavors of mushroom, licorice, roses, and dark berries, with very little tannins. It was amazing. Definitely, comparable to an aged Bordeaux or a fine red Burgundy.

@@ericcooke2661 What you say is true, but I bought this product for the explicit purpose of checking value for money performance in a tasting series which couldn't wait as the product would have been sold out by the time it's fully ready. Further, as regards that 2015 Langhe Nebbiolo by Produttori del Barbaresco, its low price point compared to the usual Nebbiolo price range made me expect less backbone. Also, I just love that tannic grip and astringent promise of ageability. Knowing this product's potential now, if I had two cases of it, of course I would leave it 5 years past vintage and then open a bottle per year.

Any advice on what wine I should bring back from Italy that tends to age really well? Price is not a concern, been trying to do some research. Looking for the top tier best of the best vintage classic wines. I primarily want to store them and only drink on celebrations. Thanks!

Aglianico is Italy’s third great grape variety besides Nebbiolo and Sangiovese (more so than Barbera, imho).
