Thanks for the note and for subscribing, honored to have you aboard. 2010 is proving to be all the critics said it would be. Lots more from that vintage across Italy in my cellar so you never know when I'll pop one out to try (even if it may be too early to drink them).

Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

@@nuno.peixoto Agree on letting that child grow up a bit.

Informative and encouraging. As a newbie to red wine (new to exploration and enthusiasm at least), I've been frankly afraid to try any of the big reds like Brunello or Barolo that need to be cellared for many years to be "approachable", as they say. Those 2010s had only aged 5 years in the bottle, but it sounded like they were quite enjoyable, even if they would be even better held for some years longer. I may work up my nerve to try one soon (and save up my nickels and dimes).

Thanks so much for watching and jumping into the conversation Stan. The best way to explore is to find a good wine shop that does some free tastings around these wines as you can taste them young and get a feel without too much (or any) financial commitment. That being said, I tend to find that the wines of today are more approachable than those produced 20 years ago so some of those standard tenets, like you cannot drink Barolo until at least 10 years have gone by, are slowly going away. Look forward to hearing your thoughts as you taste some of these. And you'll continue to see me taste through some more of the Brunellos and Barolos I have in my 'cellar' in the coming months.

Most of the historic Italian reds today are approachable since they have been on the market and fewer and fewer are still alive after 20 years. If you want miracles in the bottle after 20 or 30 years you have to turn to the Biondi Santi Reserve or the Brunello Case Basse di Soldera in Montalcino or Monfortino for Barolo.

Montalcino wines have become a fast favorite of mine. Yes the second day was phenomenal. At $20 for Rosso it is an incredible value. Next I’ll try a riserva Brunello. I find that on its first day there are Pinot noir similarities like cherry and pomegranate but on the second the cherries become black and more savory.

Not sure how I missed this comment, thanks for the note Ernie. Rosso di Montalcino wines remain (to me) a great place to find wines that should be more expensive. I think people still don't understand what they are. Can't wait to hear about the Riserva Brunello experience. I've only tried a few.

Great content indeed. Have you tasted any of Piccolomini’s other wines Pianrosso or the bigger Riserva on how they compare to this wine?

@DrinkinItIn

Thanks so much for the kind words Dietrich. I have tasted one of the Pianrosso wines before and recall it being similar to the regular Brunello, but a little lighter on the palate. Have never tasted the Riserva. I have to check my 'cellar' as I may have some regular and Pianrosso Ciacci's down there. We could do a fun compare video if that is the case.

Thanks for watching and for the note Julian. The wine is probably good right now but will likely improve with some more bottle age. I like to give the Brunellos from really good vintages (like 2016) 10 years before dipping in. Do you have multiple bottles?

... how can you expect a single vineyard Brunello with only 10 years of age to taste „old”? Thats usual the years a Brunello needs MINIMUM to rest. In general ALL wines are drank far too early, also whites!! We did a big tasting of 23 Brunellos last week, and the best Sangiovese was the oldest, an IL POGGIONE from 1990!

I think that foreigners who are passionate about Italian wines should follow less the scores of famous critics who love standardized style wines and instead choose more traditional products that better represent the history and spirit of wine in the relationship with its territory. I am writing this because the three wines featured in the video have had high scores from your "critics" (with the villas in Italy) but in a covered bottle tasting they would not reach 90 points.

Thanks so much for watching and jumping in with so much knowledge. I tend to rely on a couple of local wine shops when it comes to sourcing Brunello and have found that they do a really nice job curating their selections.

@@DrinkinItIn I thank you for the opportunity to learn more about the winemaking reality of the "new world". Regarding the Brunellos and its Riserva it is important to consider the differences between the various vintages and the personal style of the individual producer. The 2015 and 2016 are excellent and most of the wines are expressed with greater and round elegance rather than pushing towards powers that may also, in times of climate change, not find the right balance between alcohol, polyphenols and acidity. 2017 was difficult and very hot so apart from some "enlightened" producers, the 2017 Brunellis are very alcoholic and concentrated, ready to drink and less long-lived. The wineries that I mention derive from my tastings over the years and concern their Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello and Riserva: 1) Tiezzi: Rosso, Brunello and Riserva Vigna Soccorso. 2) Uccelliera: Rosso, Brunello and Riserva. 3) Talenti: Red, Brunello and Riserva 4) Lisini Brunello and Riserva 5) Costanti: Brunello and Riserva. 6) Il Poggione: Brunello and Riserva.
