Winecast: Nebbiolo

[@michaelmiglino6512]

One the best wine Discussions you can find on the internet. His clear speaking voice and informative facts and details is on my mind unparalleled.

[@SergeCas]

I could not agree with you more. I am a Nebbiolo wine producer in Baja California, Mexico. The expression of our Nebbiolo is unique. The combination of volcanic soil, hot days in the desert valleys and cool nights the ocean breeze gives us has resulted in a Nebbiolo grape with its very own character and personality, very different from Italy where the mother grape comes from but not far from it's lineage either. Our vineyards are located in Ensenada and Valle de San Vicente. Great video and excellent review! Salud!

These are just amazing videos.. Wine is 'in' right now,with lots of new wine channels but this is still king.

[@johngeiger3455]

Am very glad I have found your channel here on KZbin. Very much enjoyed your presentation.

[@michaelmiglino6512]

Another great wine discussion. This channel is one of the most informative and comprehensive casts out there. Thank You!

[@pinksour634]

Speechless, beautiful description!!!

[@leonelryker6834]

a trick : you can watch movies at flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@gibsoncolton2294]

@Leonel Ryker Yea, have been using flixzone for since december myself :)

[@sdfswords]

This is some really intelligent presentation of a complex subject. If you want a very concise education in wine, view all of the videos of the Unknown Winecaster. I have been a wine drinker since fairly young, as wine was always on the table in my family with food.

[@nomad7653]

love your channel thank you!

[@martindriver6026]

You can find this varietal in Paso Robles California along with Aglianico another ancient grape that is mentioned in pliny the elder writings. Caparoni winery has both of them.

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Thanks for the tip! Cheers!

[@dustinplatt1481]

Our winemaker has planted some on the estate here in The Willamette Valley, I am so excited to see the possibilities!!! It's in a beautiful bowl of iron rich, heat retaining soil and gets sun all day, so hopefully we won't have issues getting it to 24 brix!!!

[@distlledbrewedreviewed]

Welcome back, hope you had a great camping trip. Missed the vlogs.

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Thanks! Good to be getting back into the swing of things.

[@jdizzle23211]

Thanks for the videos. I'm enjoying reading my textbooks on wine and watching your videos in between. I'd like to request a video on Pinot Gris/Grigio. Thank you! I hope your day is going well.

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

That's a great suggestion. I'll put it in the queue and it might come up pretty soon as I think there's a lot of interest in that grape. Cheers!

Thank you once again my friend. Hope the camping trip was a good break. 🍇🍷

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Thank you! The camping trip was a vino-free trip, so, lovely as it was, there's only so good it could be. Cheers!

[@mediastarguest]

Very informative. However, not including the people who grow Nebbiolo and produce Barolo and Barbaresco, there are about three people in the world who can consistently taste which wine is which. That's because the only difference is geographical - Barolo is a village next to the village of Barbaresco. Of course there are many differentiating factors - but none that your taste buds could tell.

[@misterjosephfloyd]

Great information and presentation as always

[@Catch22iscrazy]

Thank you! Was an awesome listen - looking forward to Piedmont

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it, too.

[@HollysHappyHour]

I always think of Nebbiolo as a sweeter wine (I’m remembering a Rose’ Du Nebbiolo I think?) so it’s nice to learn a lot more about it in one sitting. Cheers! 🍷

[@dustinplatt1481]

It's amazing how the varietals can be treated so differently depending on the wine maker and the region!!!

[@annakassel526]

Hi as always I️ really like your winecast they are wonderful I️ would love to heart what you have to say on Orange Wine

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Hi. Thank you for the compliment. I talk a little about Orange Wine at the end of my cast on white wine production and will one day do a more thorough cast on it. I like Orange Wines, though it did take my palate a while to adjust to them. Are you a fan of them? Cheers!

[@pinguinitoandrade6276]

Hola! Can you make a winecast a out México wine región plz?

[@pilsplease7561]

The problem with Nebbiolo in the Us is that growers don't know where to plant it and have to this day been unsuccessful in replicating the wine quality found in italy. I have probably the best chance, as my Nebbiolo is planted facing south, on a hill top, in sandy soil. And to boot gets some fog which is exactly where nebbiolo in italy likes to grow. And being a cool region in california, I probabyl will get closer than anyone else in replicating.

[@jamesiu1234567]

So since Nebbiolo is a thin skinned grape, why is it so tannic?

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Because tannin content isn't a strict function of skin thickness. Having thick skins and small berries increases the ratio of tannin to juice in the fermenting must, but, other things being equal (like sun exposure and growing conditions), how how tannic a grape is depends on its varietal identity. So, for example, a thick skinned, small-berried clone of a grape will produce more tannic wines than a thinner skinned, larger-berried clone of the same grape, but another grape variety might be thinner skinned that the first one yet still have more tannin because, genetically, it's a more tannic variety. Hope that helps and thanks for the question. Cheers!

[@jamesiu1234567]

thanks!

How did your exam go?

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Just in classes. The exam is in late October. I'm actually stoked for it.

[@dustinplatt1481]

​@@TheUnknownWinecaster I hope to follow in your footsteps I would not be where I am and understand wine like I do, if it weren't for your work!!!

[@sujata2709]

Great winecast!

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Thank you!

[@gmas8589]

Bravo!

[@angelogandolfo4174]

Note: Lombardy (Lombardia) should be pronounced in English as: LOMM-bar-DEEE, not Lom-BAR-dy as pronounced here. There is very little emphasis on the middle ‘bar’ syllable.

[@Kinglingcheng]

Hah good work

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Thanks!

[@gmas8589]

but please pronounce Piedmont correctly... :-)
