We provide wine tasting events for people and poured a Chianti Classico after a 3-glass Pinot Noir flight (avg bottle price of $45). Our audience thought the Chianti was at least $50 - but it was only $12!! Great video!!

Hey Matthew, Chianti Classico nowadays represents a great choice for people who want to be introduced to italian wines. The average quality is pretty high and the 2019 was a decent vitage, tho not the best. Thank you from Italy for showcasing what we italians are able to do with that sweet nectar. And please, if you can, try some wine from my region (Campania). The whites are spectacular and there are some autochthonus grapes which you can only find in some places, like Ripoli, Fenile and Ginestra, found in Amalfi Coast which give the wine such an unique character. If you evere were to come to Amalfi Coast or Naples, let us know!

Grazie a mille... I have been to Campania before and was looking forward to attending Campania Stories (big press event of the new vintage) this year but unfortunately couldn't make it... I know producers aren't as high on 2019 as 2015 or 2016 but I think the wines really sing.

Also I'm a big fan of the Isole e Olena, it's pretty much my go to wine for a nice Chianti, easy to get in my market and I was never disappointed.

And I have discovered a way to make them more accessible, earlier. I buy them in halves now. Works a treat. I have 5 bottles of the 2016 Isole e Ilena sitting in the cellar and 5 of the Felsina 2016 always a favourite. I will look for the Badia as I love aromatics on a wine.

It's really interesting watching your reactions to the wines you're tasting. I'm honestly more of a beer/IPA guy, but my wife has turned me onto wines, in that we've "graduated" from Boone's Farm to actual wines, I know............ lol right? We recently did a wine cellar tour at the Williamsburg winery in VA, and they have some exceptional wines. Our favorite was the Petit Verdot varieties. I have had Chianti in the past, but I've not heard of Chianti Classico, although I'm very interested now. The wine cellar guide mentioned that lead crystal glasses were the best way to drink or taste wine, but I didn't get the opportunity to ask him why. Could you address that? I'm mostly a grocery store wine shopper, and my wine taste leans towards red blends, but I learned at the Williamsburg wine tour that red blends can consist of a single grape or multiple varieties, and many times this isn't mentioned on the bottle, but is implied with the name or region where produced. Anyhow, love your channel and looking to learn more about wines; we even got a small wine cooler/fridge several years back so we could store more, but somehow it seems to be more empty than full...................... hmmm

I tried a wine called Governo Toscano IGT which uses the same process as Amarone on the Ciliegiolo grape. I fell out of the chair. Are these 95+ wines, no.

Definitely recommend Castignoli, great producer that uses 100% Sangiovese which provides the ultimate feeling of Chianti in my opinion.

With points so tight between the bottles, it really goes down to the style one likes. But did I spy the Isole having a lower shoulder level than all the rest? 😆

That is totally right for this and all wine, trusting your own palate. Hahaha no it’s exactly the same as every bottle, the glass is just clearer and the light hits it the right way. I don’t taste beforehand and pull the same amount out of every bottle with Coravin. The blind tasting videos are just as exciting and educational for me as they are for viewers

@@drmatthewhorkey Nope, I thank you! Thank you for sharing your wine knowledge with us. For example, I just watched your other video that you recommended Silverado Cab and I just pickuped a bottle of Silverado 2016 Cab from Bob's Liquor hour ago. It was a best $50 spend on California Cab. Yes, taste better than Hall which cost $60 a bottle. HALL just a little too sweet to my taste. Yes, I am drinking the Silverado while typing this. Please keep on sharing. Thanks again!

I have a small (very small) collection of Chianti. I want to add at least a half case this Christmas: either (or both of) Castello La Leccia, 2019 or Fontodi, 2019. The La Leccia is considerably cheaper. Have you tasted either?

Last night tasted CampOlive Barbera d'Alba Superiore Paitin Neive Italy: Had the most subtle nuance of oak and spice, very smooth with fleshy texture; the overall lingering mouthfeel was an impressive 13 seconds and I strongly agreed using WASM that the structure and body was light to medium bodied. Good balance with acidity. WASM price pointed the wine at $34.57 with an overall score of 90.96 and a QVR score of 1.72%. Since I paid $33.99, WASM indicating that price point is about right, but like you always looking for those value wines that are hidden gems. Do you think you will transition to Barbera from Sangiovese as your favorite varietal in a few years?

As one of the truly great wine growing regions Chianti Classico has long suffered from massive swings in quality and provenance. From $4 buck-chuck to some of the finest reds, the range of outcomes is unacceptable. They ought to learn from Montalcino’s success and lead with provenance and terroir. 100% Sangiovese and leave the “foreign” grapes outside the sub zone. Introduce new and comprehensive rules and regulations for quality. I’d love to see a blind tasting Chianti Classico vs. Rosso di Montalcino. They are in a similar price point though I find the latter often performs better, especially on clarity and inherent complexity of fruit.

That’s a good comparison for sure. Unfortunately, dealing with the Montalcino Consorzio hasn’t been so fruitful for me 😂🤣

@@drmatthewhorkey Would never infer you are a rookie; however, pertaining to direct translation, Blood of Jupiter, difference? "Most people think that Jove and Jupiter are the same person, but there is actually a big difference between the two. Jove is the king of the gods in Roman mythology, while Jupiter is the king of the gods in Greek mythology. They both have a lot of similarities, but there are also some big differences."
@spirestocksnotification6710 Жыл бұрын
"For example, Jove is often depicted as an old man with a beard, while Jupiter is usually shown as a young man. Jupiter is also associated with the planet Jupiter, while Jove is not." I realize that some have drawn a congruent parallel but as someone approaching their mid 40's surely the direct translation of Sangiovese is Jupiter not Jove
