Nice video, thank you! I personally love Super Tuscans as they give me the impression of being slightly less acidic than Bordeaux blends and two of them have stolen my heart: Tricorno (Castello di Poppiano) and Tribun. The second wine is simply amazing and I cannot find it anywhere on the internet!!!

Guilty! I love super Tuscans. Nice little video, when I did my super Tuscan blind tasting video the I thought the 2019 Cepparello was a Bordeaux blend

@@NoSediment - Please don't apologize! It was so generous of you to expose me to the wines. I love your videos and enjoy learning even if I don't buy those super-priced wines anymore. One of my favorites is Altessino Brunello - It's about $65 a bottle in Connecticut, U.S. and it's better than most in its price class.

I have a bit of an obsession with Super-Tuscans lol. My fave is still Brunello but some Bordeaux blends are simply divine. The originals are always a sure thing yet, newer, less expensive expressions are very good as well. Isole e olena cepparello is a great example. This is one that is great as a collector as well as the Querciabella. Awesome video as always.

Super Tuscans are good fun! Like you mentioned earlier, the Tig is too pricy and I feel the same is true with many of the big aia-names. I've been now cellaring up Montevertine Le Pergole Torte 2019. Let's see how that will pan out. Btw, I met Paolo De Marchi in a wine fair in Finland some years ago, what a great guy! Thanks again for a great set!

I've found your channell just recently and I like it a lot. I am not a proffesional, just a winelover, and as such I consider your clips very informative. Lot of information, focus on specific varieties, different regions and the wine tasting in generall, the overall concept is realy ballanced to mine opinion. Just keep going on. I really appreciated your video on the Wachau region, the Steinfeder Gruener Veltliner is really a refreshing sommer wine. If you consider it a best kept secret, try to look on the Czech or Moravian wines. Btw, nice look, before it was great, now it is even better. Sveika!

Nice video! I’ve been exploring a lot of Super Tuscans lately as one of the new shops in my town has a large variety available. Recently, I was looking for a more affordable 100% Merlot Super Tuscan option than Masseto, which is at a price range I can’t visit with regularity, and had been looking to try to get some Machiole Messorio to try. How does the Palafreno stack up against Messorio?
@NoSediment

😅😅😅 Almost every single Super Tuscan wine is more affordable than Masseto! 🥹🥹🥹 And I am really sorry, but I haven’t tasted Messorio therefore I wouldn’t be of help here. 😓 But I know Querciabella well and they have never disappointed me. And thank You for the comment! 🍷🙏🏻

Bibi Graetz is a phenomenal, in such a short time they have been able to achieve a cult status.

Maybe I should find a few bottles of his wines! ☺️ Thank You for reminding me of this estate’ 🙌🍾

It seems unfair that a 100% Sangiovese wine should called Super Tuscan. To me, that should be for a wine made with some Bordeaux varietals. The rebels earned it. 😁
@NoSediment
Жыл бұрын
Hahahah, I understand what You mean. But 100% Sangiovese was also a rebellious act - it was not allowed in Chianti or Chianti Classico as a mono variety. Those producers saw the potential in that grape and declassified their wines. Therefore I don’t mind! 😅😉🍷

Always easy to taste a wine knowing what it is. That's amateur level, anyone can do that. Tasting a wine blindly is what's interesting and takes a certain amount of knowledge.

There are both reasons for tasting wine blind and knowing the label, it is not the amateur level. Some wine critics even claim that certain wines should only be tasted knowing what it is, because it gives the context. Of course, tasting blind requires to know and understand wine more deeply, when I feel it is needed I also taste wines blind on camera.

@@NoSediment With all due respect, that's nonsense. The reason critics tend to taste wines openly is because it gives them security. That way you can just rattle off the archetypical flavours and characteristics of the grapes used in that wine and nobody will disagree. It also keeps them from offending any big player in the market with giving their highly priced wines low scores. And as for context: Context is completely meaningless when it comes to judging quality. So yes, tasting wines openly is amateur level.

I understand what You mean, but definitely not the case with every critic. :))) I know which ones I trust, and I also know there are situations where it is best to taste knowing the label. And funny enough, in this particular video -> wines showed themselves differently than what I explained in the theory and I talked about that (did not cite what I spoke before). I guess it really matters of the each person, and whether You can trust them.

@@NoSediment Maybe some critics are more trustworthy/knowledgeable than others but the thing is still that the more information you have on the wine you're about to taste the less objective you are because you start the tasting with certain expectations that influence your senses. People really underestimate how much happens in the head when it comes to wine tasting.
