Brunello vs Vino Nobile | Tuscan Red Wine BLIND TASTING

[@marknelson8724]

I'm impressed, and all from a terrific vintage. That is some serious marketing. Thank you, Italy.

Was waiting for this one!!!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I hope you like it.

That's a great vid bro. I drink sh.tloads of sangiovese, barbera and nebbiolo, but 6/6 is insane! The man himself!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Hahahahah, I was quite surprised too but didn't get too high on my palate. With blind tasting, a lot of the time it can be a crapshoot.

Im a big fan of wine, it all started in 2014 i went to florence and my first ever chianti tour. I then was rioja drinker until 2021 when i tried valpolicella ripasso and amarone. These are my no 1 wines. But last weekend decided to try 3 wines . Chianti classico, rosso di montalcino, and vino nobile di montepulciano and find the best sangiovese. I found your videos to look for more information. What i found trying 1 to 3 and 3 to 1, rosso di montalcino always had amazing smell and taste of all three. I had a big hopes for nobile, but it was too heavy, tannins and acidity. Almost like barollo or aglianico. Rosso was a win for me. I didnt want to spend 45 euro on brunello, but had a great tasting watching your videos.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Rosso di Montalcino is a good choice!! Glad you enjoyed. Vino Nobile quality varies a lot depending on producer

[@pizzocheripasta]

Great video..Thank you

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Thank you!

[@archeryates6619]

I agree

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Drank 2016 Altesino BDM today and it was indeed a very pretty and complete wine ! Just overall round and delicious but none of the characteristics were popping out in particular, it almost seemed a tad reduced Have one more bottle maybe I'll wait few more years or go for a really long decant next time,

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Niceeee, that is the sign of really good wine… balance!!!

[@hans8241]

Great day in the office :) Next time, I think it'd be insightful to have a segment explaining why you decided to choose the way you did.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

hahhahah thank you! I actually had no choice in the order, the wines were bottled in those small packages and then sent to me.

[@hans8241]

@@drmatthewhorkey Oh I meant explaining your thought process in picking between VN/B for each wine.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhhh yes, I realized when I edited that I didn't speak on that enough.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Thanks!

I’ve noticed that Vino Nobile tastes a lot fruiter than Brunello like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon vs a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

It can be the case for sure although there are a lot of different styles of Vino Nobile

[@nuno.peixoto]

I thought a producer would had to wait 5 years before releasing Brunello (2 years in barrels + 3 in bottles). Not sure though. Thanks for your videos!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I can’t remember what I said in the video but it was up to date information at the time of shooting. Thanks a lot!

The requirements haven't changed for a couple of decades (late 90s, I believe) and says a minimum of 4 years (min 2 in barrel and min of 4 months in bottle) so there is some flexibility in how the totality of the 4 years-ish are spent. I think what you may be referring to is that if I harvest in fall of 2000, the wines typically won't hit the market until Jan of 2005, but it's not really 5 years - it's 4 years and a couple of months, depending on when harvest occurs. I'm far from being an expert though so please correct me if my understanding is incorrect!

[@nuno.peixoto]

Yes, you guys are correct. Maybe that's what confused me. It's 4 years minimum, but it seems 5 because it's released on Jan. of the the 5th year, but technically is 4 and just a few months. Cheers!
