@@kicker2511 try all of these because it's a different between each other
The first time i fell in love with italian wine is about 3 years ago. My wife had a botlle from Fratelli Trevisani Diana Benaco Bresciano Rosso year 2000. She doesn't like red wine so i thought lets try this wine from almost 17 years old, of it's still good. I opened the botlle and WOW!! I thought what is this?! That was unbelieveble, that was the first time i fell in love with wine. So much flavors, fruit, creamy, rich, ripe tannins but soft in the mouth. I drank the whole botlle, and thought if i have this with every wine, i am going to have a problem. I started to explore more italian wines, and they are still my favorite wines. Appassimento for example, love it. I prefer italian over french thats for sure. Thanx for your great comments on italian wines. I am Dutch by the way
I’m not an expert, but I am an alcoholic and I must say Italy is off the charts with so many amazing red wine varietals and they’ve certainly stepped up there white wine game in recent years.
WOOW! I asked about more details on Italian wine, and you put out this great video; while we are spending 3 weeks traveling Italy. Perfect timing, and great information. Love what you do! You guys are the best REAL info on on internet. THANK YOU!
Wow Thank you for saying something!
Great video! Been working With wine for over 20 years and waiting for good RUclips info about wine and here it is!! Thanks.
I love this! Been trying to get more into italian reds so thank you!
So glad I found your channel, renewing my interest in wine. You taste the varietals i love. Another great video.
Madeline, thank you for all the info you're sharing. You're the best. 🤘🥂
As someone who comes from a family full of beer "enthusiasts" who think that wine is for snobs and girly men, I love that you throw that misconception out the window. When I watch your vids, I feel like I'm listening to a friend instead of a teacher. I've been a fan of the Somm trilogy and I love your enthusiasm and the bubbliness that you bring to the documentaries and I love Wine Folly! Your videos and material have helped me learn so much about wine. You make learning about wine fun and interesting and your charisma makes it that much more enjoyable to watch. Cheers from Oklahoma City!
Best comment I've read all day. Thank you.
I love beer but I can't drink it any more because of my gout. I can drink wine which doesn't bother me. If you want to know anything about wine, Madeline will tell you. She's great.
Excellent selection for beginners especially the Vietti, Produttori del Barbaresco, and the Tenute delle Tere Nere!
Sicily has amazing wines and grapes, nice climate for warm wines, one of my favourites is Tenuta Tremollito, you should give it a look, I love their white wine, probably the best I have tried so far.
I like so much this kind of videos , thanks a lot for the information Madeline.
A lot of good values in Italian wines! One I particularly like is Aglianico del Vulture. Also, Nero d'Avola from Sicily.
hear hear!
daver8521...........Funny you should mention my 2 preferred Italian varietals: Aglianico & Nero d"Avola, not to mention Primitivo.......Good taste my friend!
Try Invetro Renieri 2015 with a basic san marzano pomodoro sauce. My absolute favorite thus far
Love your vibe Madeline, just wishing to meet you someday and soak up all your knowledge! What a wonder woman, thank you for your work!!!!
Let's make that happen!
Your presentation is full of energy, very pleasant to watch! :D
Another great video, really informative!! Make a video about Greek wines too, there are a ton of great choices and indigenous varieties!!!
A ballerina with 🥊 🤣 😂 Love the oomph you add to the descriptions 💜
🦋 Gracias 🇨🇺 🍮 ☕️
Very informative! Good stuff!!
Your vids are amazing, informative. And Relatable like talking to a friend.
Can u do a vid about super Tuscan.
Love it when she says "On the NOSE!!
New to your channel, love your dramatic enthusiasm, you make me want to buy a terracotta pot wet it down just to smell it. I’m joining you for the ride, well done.
Hi Madeline - love your style of making wine approachable and fun. Can you make a video on Brunello di Montalcino? How to identify good producers, how long to age it, whether or not to decant it, etc? To me, Brunello can be one of the most profound and beautiful wines, but they can also be one of the most fickle! Would love to get your take
Great examples! very informative!
about the volcano wine, is a way fun to discover, the characteristic of nerello mascaslese similar to pinot noir , but the rocks mineral nosing is so fantastic , since the vineyard grow near the volcano, the soil provide a huge nutrient to the vine , and wine maker claim they are using organic method to grow and harvest. and a hell yeah, you only can found in italian wine at this moment.
You seem so adorably high when you talk about wine~ thanks for the recommendations ：）
Well, I do live in Seattle.
Great video and topic! I would also add some wines from Sardinia. You can get some great value wines from that region too.
Love those Vermentino! LOVE EM!
Have you tried Sardinian wines yet? I'd love to watch a tasting video from you about them!
Thanks for a great video again 😀Can you please put info about every wine(name, year etc.) here ?
“Ballerina with boxing gloves”...you’re awesome. No one else like you. Keep going. By the way, to add to the Italian comments, I enjoy reds from Sardinia. Love how the varietals (or their relatives) in Spain and France are a little different out in that Mediterranean climate. Great values too.
Terre brune for carignano del sulcis and Turriga for cannonau blend on top of all 😍
I never got the hang of german red wine by now, maybe you could take my anxiety away by tasting some german red wine that you came across and found good. Thanks!
I had a beautiful Sangiovese wine the other night with some friends. We had a "meat lovers" pizza and the pairing was fantastic.
I love Chianti. The San Felice you can get on offer at 7$ right now. Amazing value.
Piemonte !!!! Love the entire Langhe and Dogliani regions.
Love Italian wines. They are very different from each other but they are all great.
Maybe a video about Alto Adige reds would be great. I had an incredible Lagrein some time ago.
that's a pretty rare grape. I have a few waiting... :)
@@WinefollyI Hope u've discovered the Ruché!!! ;)
Barbera and Norton (Cynthiana) are my 2 favorite and i feel under appreciated wines
Love the new wine glasses.
we actually sell them! : shop.winefolly.com/collections/tasting-tools/products/gabriel-glas-universal-wine-glass-austria
The book is a must have for wine lovers!!!
Thanks for the kind words Dana!
Wine Folly You are beyond welcome. I’ve learned so much already!! I’ve fallen in love with wine and learn more with every sip thanks to you and the book!
So helpful.
Thank you I love them all😅
I’ve only tried Sangiovese from Argentina, good wine.
I usually just drink my Italian wine and not play with it, but then again, I'm Italian.
Please go play with more things. I like an Italian who can get his/her hands dirty... ♥
@@Winefolly Yep, I drink Italian wine and play with Berettas and Maseratis.
🤣👏🍷
I love Italian wine. Sooo many wines. So little time!
well done for keeping the energy levels after the 5th bottle. if possible trusted vineyards names would help, Biondi etc…
What am I drinking? Same thing I'm always drinking lol, Oregon Pinot Noir, specifically Patton Valley :)
Hey Madeline.... I would love to see you do something on wines from La Rioja! Plus, López de Heredia Viña Tondonia has just been named 3rd Best in Vineyard in the world and the best in Europe 2019! :)
I personally drink the crap out of that wine.
Thank you for your explanations. it helps a lot. Thumps up from #CilentoArea #AlburniMountains #SalernoCity SouthernItaly I suggest you to give a look at the wines of that area, they are lovely, great wines and very old grape, tipically of that area.
Italian Wines Part 2-maybe you could feature Amarone and Ripasso. I think Amarone production is one of the most unique and interesting winemaking processes worldwide! Cheers!
Yes!
Super!
You should try "le vin de Paille" from the Jura vineyard in France. Cheers
Love it. Great idea.
Fa anche 15 gradi
You could do another italian wine video with some Rosso/Brunello di Montalcino and Amarone/Valpolicella. Great channel
Ah I see. You want only the best! hahah noted!
i really like the Louis Jadot Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2015. It is an affordable wine fro Burgundy my favorite daily glass of red.
Ballerina with punching gloves 😂
Amazing thank u!
Langhe nebbiolo from produttori di barbaresco is one of my favorite!!
good choice!
OMG YES. I found Italy so difficult to study for the WSET3 exam and I thought I was the only one 😅
I wouldn't know where to start!
Do Spanish gran reservas
I had one last week at a friend's .
I think it was Conde de Valdemar.
The American oak gives an almost pickle juice quality. I know that sounds weird, but that's what I tasted. It was awesome! LOL
Spanish wines are shit
I don't agree.
I love them
I don't agree either. Our local wine retailer ran a special on a simple spanish red blend at an affordable price. It soon became very hard to find in all their locations. It wasn't about the price, this wine was absolutely delicious.
Great video and liked the suggestions but why Primitivo was not in your list?? :(
It's a great grape but I just covered it 2 weeks ago! That's why it wasn't included ;)
Talking about Italian red wines without mentioning Valpolicella is inexcusable ;-)
i must said , this the love of winemakers to produce a top and good wine, by using appassimento method. valpolicella is a must try wine before i die. just the selling price is much more higher, but give a good value
@@thooky7224 check out Ripasso 😃
Valpolicella (other than Ripasso style and full appassionato Style) is painfully boring. Italy's most overrated wines: Valpolicella and Pinot Grigio. (For my taste of course ☺️)
#Amarone 🥰🤤
What is the most fruit forward not dry red wine? With lots of red fruit flavor, easy to drink? Thanks so much
I will be very pleased to share my (partial) knowledge of Etna Wines with you ;)
Your thoughts on Guccione? Please and thanks!
My fav Italian type of wines are Montessu & Sangiovese
Sagrantino Please! Can you do a review on a sagrantino wine?
Italian whites next? I was impressed with a Grillo from Sicily that I haven't been able to find recently.
Same, actually. The one I had was from Feudo Maccari and, at 14-15 $, it was incredible value for the money (to the extent that you can get good value for your money buying wine in Canada through the LCBO and such).
Love Sangiovese and Nebbiolo 🥰
There are masses of Italian wines but the same ones are not always available so I forget which ones I liked. Colpertrone was my favorite but it’s not available anymore. Conterno has become too pricey and hard to find. So I don’t have a favorite because I cannot have one. A big fave is northern Italian white. Superb. Not available at all. Sanct Valentin. I always decant Italian wines as they are often woody or dry raisin flavored. Decanting is really essential. Then there is Bruno Giacosa just too expensive but I might try some for Year End.
I lost it at "wet terracotta pots" haha. It's so quirky and rustic.
Should do a video with some other lesser known varieties! Teroldego, Aglianico, Sagrantino, Primitivo, Frappato, Cesanese, Veneto blends, etc.
Apparently the Nerello Mascalese drop is not enough for you! Yes, Aglianico, Sagrantino... all of these are great choices. But, like I said... over 500 varieties in Italy makes it hard to shave down to just 5!
Aglianico and Primitivo are pretty common. Anything you can find in Trader Joe's like those two aren't my idea of exotic.
BigBadJerry Rogers well they’re quite uncommon in Australia...
No Frascati ? It seems to have lost its charm as I don’t hear it mentioned much these days
My favourite is Gutturnio
I feel French wines are more complicated than Italian wines, but that just maybe because I'm so familiar with Italian wines. I have a cellar full I need to review I'm waiting for a party so I can open up several bottles at the same time. Otherwise I may just hid them one review at a time. Cheers!
I love red wine, can you give more demonstrations on other red wine
TRYY BAROLO DOCG AND YOU WILL BE BLESSED.
Hey there, you forgot the Valpolicella region, they produce great wines there.. as it is with Amarone!
Yep! Corvina is a great grape.
Any advice on what wine I should bring back from Italy that tends to age really well? Price is not a concern, been trying to do some research. Looking for the top tier best of the best vintage classic wines. I primarily want to store them and only drink on celebrations. Thanks!
The 3 B's of Italy if you have cash and want to age your wine. Brunello (di Montalcino), Barolo and Barbaresco
Italian wine should be the official athlete beverage. As a wrestler I admire the gladiators and how they used wine to just chillax after some good training. There's a good saying. " A glass of wine a day will keep the doctor away." It good for the heart and also will keep ya looking good and young.
Love Ballerina with Boxing gloves. Bravo
Very interesting 🍇 🍷 🇮🇹
Best Job Ever
Interesting that you left out Nero d'Avola. Great value wine
Hi. When do you show us some goog portuguese wines?...
I had the 2015 of this Langhe Nebbiolo. Produttori del Barbaresco is always great value, no particular need to go Barolo, especially not for your regular house wine.
That was a young Nebbiolo that you and she drank. They are supposed to be aged 10+ years. I had a 8 year old bottle once with flavors of mushroom, licorice, roses, and dark berries, with very little tannins. It was amazing. Definitely, comparable to an aged Bordeaux or a fine red Burgundy.
@@ericcooke2661 What you say is true, but I bought this product for the explicit purpose of checking value for money performance in a tasting series which couldn't wait as the product would have been sold out by the time it's fully ready. Further, as regards that 2015 Langhe Nebbiolo by Produttori del Barbaresco, its low price point compared to the usual Nebbiolo price range made me expect less backbone. Also, I just love that tannic grip and astringent promise of ageability.
Knowing this product's potential now, if I had two cases of it, of course I would leave it 5 years past vintage and then open a bottle per year.
To bring your knowledge level up and have a unique appreciation of italian reds, one must try the following -
'5 Stelle Sfursat' from Nino Negri, Valtellina DOCG in Lombardy
Lagrein Riserva, Vigna Klosteranger from Muri-Gries in Alto Adige DOC (SudTirol)
25 Anni, Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG from Arnaldo Caprai in Umbria
Magma Rosso, Terre Siciliane IGP from Frank Cornelissen in Etna, Sicily
Terre Brune, Carignano del Sulcis superiore from Santadi in Sardinia
heh heavy! Albeit. I wouldn't disagree. I have to say though, these are not beginner wines, nor beginner prices. Still... good picks! Thanks for listing :)
Thanks
Now I want some! Lol
The perfect response. ♥
Nero d'Avola! Find it! Review it! ;)
Would be helpful if you also mentioned the cost.
the vids are addictable! I go on binges, darn it! However, you are right, Italian wines are a complex group, with so many varieties. Could you do another vid just "de mystifying Italian Wines. I got the French, German and USA wines down pretty good, but Italy overwhelms me. Enjoy life!
I like this idea. I def have a few tricks ;)
I would like to see her tasting 45 italian wines in a single video. At the end of It she would fall on the ground in apparent death.
P. S. I live 2 km away from Solopaca (BN) Italy where we have the Solopaca doc, a great wine! I would love to see her trying It: here in Campania we've great wine as well and even Napoleone Bonaparte tasted the one from Solopaca and he loved It.
Madeline is to wine education what John Madden was to pro football. She’d definitely be my pick for frontline wine enthusiast. Perfect.
Where did you go to school for wine?
The only experience I have with Nebbiolo is through Barolo. Unfortunately (for me), I was not aware at the time that young Barolo can be excessively harsh and I got a say, those 50 $ I spent on that two-years-old Barolo were spent in pure waste. It was only a few years later I tasted a 12-years-old Barolo at a dinner party and god, did it benefit from aging. In your view, would non-Barolo Nebbiolos benefit from aging as much as their illustrious, more well known counterparts?
Generally speaking, Nebbiolo d'Alba and Langhe Nebbiolo are made to be drunk young. Check out our channel if you'd like to learn more about Piemonte wines!
Luxembourg Riesling ;)
You are awesome
Chianti classico!!! ❤❤❤
ooo you're going to love the video in 2 weeks!
Great video, but why is it always about Tuscany and Piedmont, when it comes to italian wine (except for the Terre Nere)?. Aglianico is Italy’s third great grape variety besides Nebbiolo and Sangiovese (more so than Barbera, imho). Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture and Aglianico del Taburno should definitely be of interest for any lover of Italian wine.
Love these reccs. So true. Fantastic choices. You wanna know something crazy? Nebbiolo is actually pretty rare (very low plantings) compared to Barbera (aka Barbie!). Anyhoo, glad you brought these up
No Amarone? They are so amazingly unique and sends you straight to northern Italy with every sip.
They were a little higher than my $25 limit!
For me PRIMITIVO ITS MY FAVORITE
2 of the most delicious italian red wines that have not been nominated here:
Montefalco and Teroldego
I love how she describes the taste like she rapping.
The most interesting and surprising wine I got from Italy was from Etna. Excellent price/value in my opinion. Cheers!
I would readily agree with that. I've been delighted by Sicily.
you missed Brunello, Bolgheri and Prosecco... (just to mention the first 3 that came up to my mind)
We talked Sangiovese (which is the grape of Brunello) - we talked "Super Tuscans" which is what Bolgheri specializes in. And, this video is entitled "Italian red wines" - so, I *think* we have you covered. All the examples were supposed to be affordable. Brunello and Bolgheri aren't cheap! You have fancy taste!
Madeline, I agree in substance. However, with regards to #1 Sangiovese it's not only the Chianti but it should include arguably THE best Italian red Brunello di Montalcino, made from Sangiovese Grosso. Further, re. #3 Nebbiolo, one shouldn't leave out the other great Italian reds made from the same grape and grown in the same region of Piemonte such as Barolo, Barbaresco and Gattinara.
Manfred Vollmer Here here.
Hey Manfred. Yes, all of these points are true BUT I was trying to pick out classic favorites and wines under $25 a bottle. Thus, no Brunello. We have countless articles on these wines and grapes. In fact, in the video I link and article to all the many variants of Nebbiolo from Piemonte that are worth investigating…
How does one simmer down Italian wine in less than 10 minutes? I'm pretty sure I was clear about that there's a lot to know and this is only a drop in the glorious bucket of Italian wine varieties. So, to your points. They are good points. Perhaps people will want to watch longer vids? Not... exactly.… Unfortunately...
Wine Folly I'd watch longer videos
Do you sell your wine glasses?
I like your wine glasses. 🍷👍
Thanks for noticing!!! We like 'em so much that we import and sell them in our store: shop.winefolly.com/collections/tasting-tools/products/gabriel-glas-universal-wine-glass-austria
luv it
Just probably a tad too enthusiastic, but highly entertaining noneheless !
