How cool your video is… loved it.
really interesting - do you know how the modern use of the word fiasco came from?
This is so amazing! You are brilliant.
For anybody who can tell:: In the first lunette, where the magi are up the hill, what are the figures in the right foreground doing? Bonus if you can say why!
3 comments. 1) Who told you that Chianti Sodi del Paretaio contains white grapes in the blend? Did you recognize the presence of Malvasia or Trebbiano in the tasting? Not me, in fact the winery declares the following blend: 85% Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and 15% Syrah. Today it is very difficult to find Chianti producers who still use white grapes, I say this because when I look for a fresh and fragrant wine to drink young I often choose a Chianti with those characteristics. 2) You forgot to mention the 7 sub-areas of Chianti, each with different characteristics and absolutely worth knowing. 3) You said this but I prefer to repeat it: the black rooster is not by itself a guarantee of high quality, the wines must always be tasted and what is written on the labels only serves to make a first selection useful to the consumer who can better direct his own research . Regarding Chianti Classico, I prefer 100% Sangiovese or with the typical addition of Canaiolo and Colorino, both Tuscan vines. If I want Cab or Merlot I choose Bordeaux.
Sassicaia best wine in the world? Naaa, maybe they are the best payers. Thanks to your chatter of the bottle price has risen quickly from € 100 to more than 300. You drink with your palate, folks
Ok I just wanna know how old this bottle of chianti I got is its from California its corked and says 7592 c2 w-1592 20 (I) 78. so is 78 The year?
I'd need a close up picture of any label o the bottle in oder to tell.
@@Tuscantourguide its like the tipo chianti triangular red label but doesn't say Italian swiss colony and the California isn't in cursive
Great stuff! Makes me want to visit and have you as a guide !!!
Very knowledgable. I enjoyed this video, thank you :D
As we can see, health has never been important in the beauty standards in any age
thank you for this video. i needed this for my schoolwork :)
Thanks for very good information , great video. I have a question, the Italian chianti and Chianti classico and other Chianti wines sold in trader Joe's in USA, are they same as those sold in Tuscany? On all those wine bottles is written bottled in Italy and imported, have they have the same quality and formula?
Hi Vahik, to answer your question about Trader Joe's or ANY OTHER Chianti or Chianti Classico sold ANYWHERE in the world is made in a specific part of Tuscany following the rules and regulation from their consortium (or union). You can find a few of the exact same Chianti or Chianti Classico wines sold in North America as well as in Tuscany however many wine producers bottle specific Chianti or Chianti Classico wines for Asia, N America or Europe. The exported wine may not be made of "selected grapes" which will intern produce a different Chianti or Chianti Classico wine from the same producer. One thing is for sure..... 100% of ANY BOTTLE found ANYWHERE in the world that reads "Chianti" or "Chianti Classico" is made here in Tuscany.
Thx! Very informative! 🍷👑🧛🏻♀️
One session on Tuscana and super Tuscana
Isn't the best is subjective. The best Chianti is sold in Fiasci, you just need to know where to find it.
great video! lots of interesting information.
Great video Paul! I have a question.. Regarding the aging, I have the impression that from the dozen CC vineyards I visited it seems like almost all their wines are aged in oak barrels. From reading the consortium regulations I cannot reallly find wether oak barrell aging is a regulation for CC or not.. Maybe you know? and if it is not a regulation maybe you know wether it generally is common practice with oak barrel aging for CC or not!?
Hi Erik, great question! The Chianti Classico consortium does not specify what barrels a producer must use during the minimum 2 year ageing. Most producers use large French or Slovenian oak which may be moved to a smaller tonneau or barrique in order to give the wine a specific tertiary taste. The wood is 98% always oak (French, Slovenian, North American etc). A few producers are experimenting with chestnut wood.
Thanks Paul for your quick and informative reply. As far as I understand, your reply covers the riserva wines, how about the annata wines? do they also generelly go into oak barrels?
@@eriksorqvist5956 yes, the wine goes into oak regarless if it will become a Riserva or not
Bravo
I Sodi vineyards make marvelous Chianti to sip and savor.
Excellent video! I have been looking all over for something something detailing the differences between the 3 different types. You did an excellent job describing all 3! One question-how does Chianti Classico differ from Brunello? Hoping you can sum it up! Stay Safe.
Hi Evan, glad you enjoyed the video. Here's the link to my Brunello wine video. The are MANY differences between Chianti Classico and Brunello, but the 2 major ones are: 1. Different terroir (so different minerals in soil which give the wine a different taste) 2. Brunello is 100% Sangiovese opposed to the minimum 80% that Chianti Classico must use Once you watch the Brunello video let me know if you have any other questions!
Awesome video, sir.
Great video, thank you.
Looking very nice.
What Chianti Classico’s do you recommend in the $20-$30 price range?
There are hundreds of CC. It all depends on where you live and which ones your local importers have. I try my best to aell and suggest NON EXPORTED Tuscan wines. CC have no chance agains most IGTs
Hi Michael, This is a difficult question to answer because different parts of the world will not get certain Chianti Classico wines. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on how you see it), there's a "monopoly" in North America for the Tuscan wines that are readily available. The BIG companies (that means they have LOTS of money to invest) are the ones that we typically find everywhere. Example: Antinori or Ruffino. However my taste buds have moved to IGTs and Bolgheri wines that are much more complex and structured.... which is what I personally prefer. Next time, I'd suggest you purchase a Tuscan IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica). I have a gut feeling you'll truly enjoy them.
@@Tuscantourguide Thank you!
Great video. Answered a lot of questions I had about Chianti and wine in general. I wish you the best of luck with your career and this channel!
