I’ve become such a wine geek, just trying to soak up all the info possible with much of it on KZbin. There are some great presenters out there, but you may be the best. Thanks for your intelligence and knowledge. Much appreciated.

Just recently bought Sassicaia, Flaccianello, Il Blu from the 2020 vintage and Tignanello, Cepparello from 2019 so that video was perfectly timed for me. Can't wait to enjoy them in 15-20 years!

Awesome, Madeline! We just got back from Italy in September and spent some time in San Gimignano and fell in love with the Tuscan region. I had some confusion about Super Tuscans, but no more. Thanks for the video! Your awesome!

I remember as a Somm in Beverly Hills having a table with two of my favorite guest. The debate was between the Tignanello and the Sasi- I can tell you both are wonderful. The Tignanello for me is an experience worth trying. The debate went on and still goes on till this day lol 😅

I'm a huge fan of Modus by Ruffino. It's incredible for the price. But yes, Super Tuscans are where it's at. Rustic and crazy drinkable.

absolutely the BEST youtube class on Super Tuscans. Clear explanations, good detail, and great summary of 4 different types... Italian wine DOC's etc. can be complicated a bit, but she gets it right from start to finish; with just enough information!! great work, as usual Madeline! THANK YOU!

What a great video on Super Toscans. I like the Rosso and Brunello from Banfi, so I will certainly try out their Super Toscans. I visited the beautiful region and Castello Banfi in 2002. Still have some bottles of that period. Greetz from Belgium.

Super tuscans has dramatically impacted the wine world for a long time now. Even novices are really turning their choices. Super Venetians wines should also be in the limelight. They're gorgeous as well. I hope you make a vid out of it. Thanks.

Hello, so when do you suggest is the best time to open a Tig or Sassicaia? 10 years after the production year. Or it may depend on the estate

The Sassicaia was only Cab Franc and Cab Sav. Does this still count as a Super Tuscan even though it doesn't have Sangiovese?

Very well presented and well produced, Madeline. Given Sassacaia’s exceptional quality and reputation, why do you think it has not been elevated to DOCG status? Thanks.
@Winefolly9 ай бұрын
As with all things Italy - It's going to take time. Personally though, and you're welcome to disagree, a single estate DOCG doesn't fit the Italian classification system. The original estate is just 4 acres, so what, is that the Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC? or, can they use all their 290 acres? Yes I like the wine, and what this estate has done for Tuscany is profound, but if we're going to do this for them, then we should probably consider all the other estates - or maybe make a new grand cru status in Italy... it feels a bit messy and without a grand vision in mind.

At 3:45 you show the Bolgheri DOC denomination on a bottle of Sassicaia, just notice that Sassicaia is the only monopole in the entire Italian appellation system since it has its own DOC "Bolgheri Sassicaia" !

I'm pretty sure they were named Super, because they were way out of what Tuscany was doing at the time with their native varieties. So "More" than just usual tuscans... Super-tuscans!
