This is so weird. I was just searching yesterday to see if you had a video on Sangiovese and I couldn’t find anything. Twelve hours later you post one! Amazing! Hahaha

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

It's all in the timing....

This is a varietal ive been working with in home winemaking for several years from a older vineyard, its particularly rough because it can be really hellaciously acidic at times and high sugar its not uncommon to see 25-27 brix. It really is a nice grape though.

I think wine connoisseurs, sommeliers, and enthusiasts need to invent a better, more science based terminology for describing the wine tastes and smells. All of that “cherry” “currant” “red fruit” are culturally defined and unhelpful terms.

Love your work man. My 2021 new years resolution is to drink more Italian wines and im doing well but dry july is happening here for me. Back into it next month. Thanks again

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Hi. Thanks very much, I really appreciate that

Last one- Ruffino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. 2015. A bit young, but pronounced nose. Chocolate, black cherry, balsamic, olive oil, dusty savory spices, dried deli meats, rosemary, cinnamon, violets and rose petal perfume. Palate clearing acidity, nice hit of malo, minerality, touch of oak bark, medium plus body. Great wine.

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for this video! I love Sangiovese so much). Could you explain, please, what the term "TART" really means when it comes to describing wine?

[@handrinkssolowineclub]

I gather it is the nexus between sour and bitter. So a ruby grapefruit would be tart, where a lemon would simply be sour. Hope this helps.

Love, and appreciate your vast knowledgable videos on wine!

[@TheGrapeExplorer]

Have you explored much Australian Sangiovese? and if you have, can you recommend any? I know that King Valley, VIC produce some of Australia's best Italian varieties.

[@yebaletaleestifanos2123]

[@TheGrapeExplorer]
