Love videos like this! Thank you for your time! Tuscan wines are so interesting to me because the blends of grapes that create the wine are not the only factor. The climate’s weather effecting one grape to make a single-grape wine would be one thing, but the weather affecting 3 or 4 grapes and how they all come together to create such a fun blend is truly a fun concept. 2014 was a cool year for the tuscan region, so you get a much more mineral taste in many of the Sangiovese wines.. blend that with bolder and fruiter grapes and you get a well rounded wine with mineral notes but still have cab body. Tuscan wines are so artistic and have been around for so long. I think chiantis, though made from blends, are somehow in a way, more classic and true to the tuscan region than the super tuscan craze that modern wine drinkers hype super tuscans to be.
+MantisA7X Thanks, any insight I may have I attribute to a lot of case study. I currently have about 15 cases in the house I will be studying, one bottle at a time :)
can you recomend me a chianti for beginers had only 1 time chianti with pizza it had these tipical chianti basket under the bottle are normal bottles better or,,of italian wines im a big fan of masi wines and brunello di moltalcino..
Due to differences in import/export laws, local regulations and more, each area on the planet would have different access to wines. In other words a particular Chianti that I might buy may not be available to you. Generally speaking, the Chiantis with the baskets are of a lesser quality, look for the plain regular bottles. Consult the store owner for tips on the better wines and those that match what you are looking for.
im in Switzerland yes finded some wine stores with several chiani and also a italian food and wine store that have many diferent but ended buying a tuscan wine called Luce 2011 now making a 30 days not drinking chalenge jeje. for next year im planing a 3 days trip two Tuscany.
