I'm impressed, and all from a terrific vintage. That is some serious marketing. Thank you, Italy.

That's a great vid bro. I drink sh.tloads of sangiovese, barbera and nebbiolo, but 6/6 is insane! The man himself!

Hahahahah, I was quite surprised too but didn't get too high on my palate. With blind tasting, a lot of the time it can be a crapshoot.

Was waiting for this one!!!

Im a big fan of wine, it all started in 2014 i went to florence and my first ever chianti tour. I then was rioja drinker until 2021 when i tried valpolicella ripasso and amarone. These are my no 1 wines. But last weekend decided to try 3 wines . Chianti classico, rosso di montalcino, and vino nobile di montepulciano and find the best sangiovese. I found your videos to look for more information. What i found trying 1 to 3 and 3 to 1, rosso di montalcino always had amazing smell and taste of all three. I had a big hopes for nobile, but it was too heavy, tannins and acidity. Almost like barollo or aglianico. Rosso was a win for me. I didnt want to spend 45 euro on brunello, but had a great tasting watching your videos.

Rosso di Montalcino is a good choice!! Glad you enjoyed. Vino Nobile quality varies a lot depending on producer

I agree

Drank 2016 Altesino BDM today and it was indeed a very pretty and complete wine ! Just overall round and delicious but none of the characteristics were popping out in particular, it almost seemed a tad reduced Have one more bottle maybe I'll wait few more years or go for a really long decant next time,

Niceeee, that is the sign of really good wine… balance!!!

Great day in the office :) Next time, I think it'd be insightful to have a segment explaining why you decided to choose the way you did.

hahhahah thank you! I actually had no choice in the order, the wines were bottled in those small packages and then sent to me.

I’ve noticed that Vino Nobile tastes a lot fruiter than Brunello like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon vs a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon.

It can be the case for sure although there are a lot of different styles of Vino Nobile

I thought a producer would had to wait 5 years before releasing Brunello (2 years in barrels + 3 in bottles). Not sure though. Thanks for your videos!

I can’t remember what I said in the video but it was up to date information at the time of shooting. Thanks a lot!

The requirements haven't changed for a couple of decades (late 90s, I believe) and says a minimum of 4 years (min 2 in barrel and min of 4 months in bottle) so there is some flexibility in how the totality of the 4 years-ish are spent. I think what you may be referring to is that if I harvest in fall of 2000, the wines typically won't hit the market until Jan of 2005, but it's not really 5 years - it's 4 years and a couple of months, depending on when harvest occurs. I'm far from being an expert though so please correct me if my understanding is incorrect!

Yes, you guys are correct. Maybe that's what confused me. It's 4 years minimum, but it seems 5 because it's released on Jan. of the the 5th year, but technically is 4 and just a few months. Cheers!
