i enjoyed this vid having recently finished a bottle of Sicilian Cosentino Etna Rosso (100% Nerello Mascalese)-and the characteristics I found with each glass align perfectly with your descriptions of this 'noble' grape. 👍
Wow... learned something new ! Well done !
I knew the wine from your descriptors. Just gave a staff trying on this grape from Benanti that we offer by the glass…BRAVO
Love these videos! Thanks!
Never heard of this -- sounds great!
Love this grape! In fact, I guessed Nerello Mascalese even before the choices. The Pinot style fruits combined with volcanic soil locked me in. Fun. As always. By the way, that glass doesn’t look very Gabriel-like…😉 🍷
I would love to see a video on South Africa's Pinotage. My wife and I lived there for about 3 years and had some incredible wines.

Hey Madeline i have a question.. since Cicilia is part of the old world.. is north africa (Tunisia Algeria Morroco) also considered to be old world?

I'm not Madeline.. But you're question got me thinking. I don't think the northern afican countries are part of the "old world" wine countries. I'm not entirely sure what exactly falls under old world. But I'm sure Georgia for example isn't considered old world. But it has some of the oldest examples of viticulture found anywhere in the world.

Could Susumaniello be a noble grape? I suspect not given my palate for fruit-forward, low tannin reds...
I knew right off the bat that it was Nerello Mascalese with the volcanic and rose and peony notes. This whole "noble varieties" is total and utter rubbish, IMHO. As this video shows great wine can be made in many places, from so many non-"noble varieties". The list would be very long indeed but briefly: Garnacha/Grenache, Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Albarino/Alvarihno, Encruzado, Blaufrankish/Kekfrankos, Furmint, Harslevelu, and so many more. There are too many to list here, ha! 😅

Nero D'Avola also from sicily
