P.S. Technically, there are 7 sub-zones of Chianti DOCG because Chianti Classico DOCG is it's very own DOCG. Let's thank Christine Marsiglio MW for that pro-nerd fact! 👏
P.P.S. It's "Chianti Rufina" not "Ruffina" FYI. We caught the map spelling error a bit too late. 😬 Please forgive my heavy keystroke on "FFFFfffff."

You’re videos, books, clubs, et al and definitely elevating the wine experience for thousands of new people who have not been able to get into the traditional information heretofore available. You make it fun, exciting, appealing and entertaining in addition to being educational! Congratulations on your success!! I am an old guy with multiple decades of experience with wines and I encourage all the younger folks who want to learn how to really enjoy and learn about wines to check out your videos and website. It’s amazing how many restaurant and bar employees barely know anything about what beverages they are serving! But, it’s also amazing how many of them want to know more! WF is the best source available today imho.

Chianti in Italy I just learned is the oldest designated wine region of Europe

@Winefolly 9 ай бұрын

there are a few regions that can claim this designation! Chianti was named as a general region in the 1300s but wasn't technically designated as a wine region until the 1960s I believe with the creation of the DOC/DOCG system. The first wine regions came much later in the 1700s due to copy-cat wines filling the marketplace and countries wanting to protect their designation of origin. Around this time we see Tokaji in Hungary demarcated and the Douro Valley for Port in Portugal.

Do you mean Sangiovese-based wines? I imagine it would do splendidly in the climate there. Which producers?

@boburns2775 Жыл бұрын

@@Winefolly yes a lot of winemakers make sangiovese. To many winemakers to name really. Texas wineries are making a huge splash. There are hundreds now. I was really hoping to get you to do a video on Texas wines. As far as sangiovese I like skies over Texas winery, and Bull Lion makes a texianti. Really there are a lot of amazing winemakers here. Come visit.

@gemsandlasers269 Жыл бұрын

Lovely, concise video. A few questions: 1. Is sangiovese the only permitted grape? I'm fairly sure I've seen others... 2. Which recent vintages are best for drinking now? I'm not patient enough to wait years.

@jicklesjingles8134 Жыл бұрын

No, within the region of Chinati there are several appellations with own rules. You can look up the details in Wikipedia for example. Chianti Classico for instance have a minimum of 80% of Sangiovese which is the main grape variety in Chianti.

@Winefolly Жыл бұрын

Sangiovese is the major grape with ~75% minimum. But there are several other (rare) regional grapes like canaiolo, colorino - also cab sauv and merlot.

Are these wines vegan? I noticed you mentioned salami as part of the flavors. Can you post a video of best tasting vegan wine?

@Winefolly 10 ай бұрын

Salami is an aromatic quality and has nothings to do with fining agents as they precipitate out of the wine.
