On the heels of my trip with a group of Patrons to Campania, I wanted to do a show on Taurasi while it was still fresh in my mind.   Taurasi, a small (472 ha / 1,166 acres) DOCG region, is indisputably one of Italy's greatest red wines along with Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello, Chianti, Vino Nobile, and Montefalco Sagrantino. Taurasi, made of the ancient Aglianico grape, is in Campania, more specifically in hills northeast of Irpinia/Avellino and is centered around the town of Taurasi, a small town with a 10th-century castle that was rebuilt by the Normans.   Over the 17 towns within the denomination soils and altitudes range dramatically. Higher altitudes create complex, more acidic styles due to a longer growing season with great diurnal swings. Towns with more clay create extremely tannic wines, while those with sand have certain warmth and fruitiness that makes them easy to drink in their youth. There are a multitude of styles and, with soils in the region layered like a lasagna, the flavors you get from the Aglianico grape depend largely on the site on which it grows.   Aglianico is a misunderstood grape, as is Taurasi as a wine. Aglianico is a red with complex, terroir driven flavors of dark fruit, red fruit, spice, black pepper notes, and excellent acidity and tannin. Taurasi, made from a biotype of Aglianico that is particularly dark-skinned, small berried and flavorful makes exquisite wines that have the aging capability of a Barolo or Bordeaux.   The grape translates the terroir into the bottle and both where the grapes grow and who makes the wine determines the style – it's an area you could explore for ages and keep discovering new expressions of Aglianico. In fact, Taurasi is called the “Barolo of the South” for nuance and depth of flavor, and variation of its terroir. In this show I cover the extensive history of the region, with all its ups and downs, the climate, altitudes, and land and then discuss the expression of the Aglianico grape and why it makes such fascinating wines.   If you haven't had a Taurasi, get on it. Vis a vis other top wines, it is insanely affordable (top wines are less than US$100) and it is a wine that will hold your interest with every sip!   Certainly for its history and for its quality, Taurasi is one of the great wines of the world.   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   This show is brought to you by my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access – THE place to discover your next favorite bottle.

Poderi Boscarelli (meaning “little forest”) is in Tuscany's picturesque winemaking area of Montepulciano. In 1962 Egidio Corradi, a Genovese businessman, purchased the farms to grow grapes and make family wines.

His grandfather used to be the smallest Brunello di Montalcino producer, accounting for a mere 0,46ha's. That's where he developed a real passion for wine. After completing his studies in Languages in 2004 he co-founded a wine-oriented advertising agency, Brookshaw&Gorelli. Over the years, he has had the opportunity to consult for many Italian wineries and Consortiums. In 2015, Gabriele started his studies at the ‘Institute of Masters of Wine'. He is now the sole Italian Master of Wine. During the same year, he co-founded KH Wines S.r.l., a company that helps European wineries in export markets. Nowadays, KH Wines holds a significant number of custom-made products designed from scratch, from the sensory profile end of the spectrum, to packaging, to storytelling.

In 2005 he led the reorganization project for the wine-growing part of the group. He focused on the most important Italian wine territories, overseeing more than 1,000 hectares of vineyards and 13 estates from the Alps to Sicily, in his role as group Viticultural Coordinator. Lonardi also oversaw the oenological aspect of several projects, beginning in 2008. He became the Chief Operating Officer of Bertani Domains in 2012. Known today as Angelini Wines & Estates, Lonardi manages production reorganization for the company, development of the group concept, construction of the product portfolio and business development. He continues in research, production and distribution development in the world of fine wines at AW &E. Lonardi is vice president of the Consorzio Tutela Vini della Valpolicella, a member of the board of Unione Italiana Vini and has played a decisive role in the development of the "Le Pievi" project in Vino Nobile. _______________________________ Let's keep in touch!

Guten Tag! Wir sind diesmal ganz vornehm und verkosten einen Vino Nobile di Montepulciano aus dem Jahr 2018 von Poliziano. Außerdem sind wir mal wieder ausschließlich philosophisch unterwegs. Diesmal geht es um die Dialogphilosophie von Martin Mordechai Buber.

In part one of this two-part episode, the Thieves will go behind the scenes in Chianti Classico to discover the thought process and philosophy behind the UGAs and some techniques used to create the Atlas and the detailed maps therein. In this and the following episode, we'll be taking a deep dive into the recently approved “added geographic units” of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany, Italy, which were officially signed into law this past July 2023.Known in Italian as Unità Geografiche Aggiuntivi, or simply “UGAs” to English-speaking insiders, these geographic units divide the rather large Chianti Classico denomination into 11 smaller sub-areas that sometimes, but not always, follow historical communal boundaries, and broadly group these sangiovese-based wines together into more coherent style categories. This is especially relevant given the significant variability of physical and human factors that shape and mould Chianti Classico into so many delicious expressions.Joining the discussion are Caterina Mori, director of Communication for the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico , along with another important guest who will be familiar to Wine Thieves listeners, Alessandro Masnaghetti, aka Map Man Masnaghetti. Alessandro joined us for one of our three episodes devoted to the wines of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano also in Tuscany (see episode 22 from season 1). Masnaghetti is the director and editor of Enogea, an independent Italian wine newsletter founded in 1997 that continues the work of the late great Luigi Veronelli, a legendary Italian wine writer who launched the first independent Italian wine newsletter known as Ex Vinis back in the 1970s with the aim of recognizing the deserving work of smaller Italian wineries, Alessandro worked with Veronelli, and brought map-making skills to the table to add another dimension to the modern Italian wine narrative. Fast forward to 2023, and Masnaghetti has created dozens of detailed maps of wine regions, mostly around Italy but also a few outside, including Barolo, Barbaresco, Valpolicella and Amarone, Vino Nobile, and even Bordeaux. But his latest magnum opus, and the one most relevant to our two episodes, is the incredibly detailed Atlas of Chianti Classico. This atlas and its series of detailed maps and background geological information, or as Masnaghetti himself puts it, “geo-viticultural” information – that is the aspects of geology most relevant to grapegrowing, was commissioned by the Chianti Classico Consorzio, with the main aim of establishing the boundaries for the 11 new UGAs. Masnaghetti's work is an impressive tome that should be on every wine lover's shelf, and indeed should be in your hands right now to follow along on these two episodes. You can get yourself a copy at enogea.it. The maps contained within the atlas show geology, topography, vineyard boundaries, estates, and much much more. In the previous episode we spoke with Giovanni Manetti, current president of the Chianti Classico Consorzio and owner of the Fontodi estate in Panzano. Signore Manetti shared loads of valuable information with us on the history and the current status of Chianti Classico, and we touched upon the introduction of these UGAs and what it means to both producers and wine drinkers around the world. So be sure to have a listen to that episode, if you haven't already, to set the stage for these next two episodes.  Cin Cin! This episode was produced thanks to a Campaign Financed According to EU Regulation No 1308/2013.

Welcome to Episode 1530 on another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. Our special episode today celebrates Andrea Lonardi's new title as Italy's Master of Wine.

More about today's guest Andrea Lonardi was born in Valpolicella, graduated in Agriculture from the University of Bologna and has a Masters in Management Control from the Grande École of Montpellier. After training internships in Languedoc and Sonoma, Lonardi began his career in the top wine division of the Italian Wine Group (GIV), working in Marketing & Sales.

Tiberini è una piccola realtà di circa 20 ettari coltivati in agricoltura biologica, di cui 12 a vigneto e 2 ad oliveto specializzati, ad un'altezza media di 310 m. S.l.m. nella parte Nord del territorio di Montepulciano. L'azienda è nella Pieve Caggiole, definita uno dei più importanti luoghi nella produzione di qualità del Vino Nobile, dove fin dai tempi etruschi veniva coltivata la vite e fatto vino. La nostra famiglia vive e lavora al Podere Le Caggiole da 7 generazioni, iniziando con la prima del capostipite Giuseppe Tiberini detto “Il Sabreo”, come mezzadri viticoltori e cantinieri. Nel 1962 il podere diventa in proprietà con la quarta generazione guidata dal capoccia Gino Tiberini, arrivando alla settima di oggi con Niccolò e Giada impegnati a tempo pieno in azienda, che attendono crescere la sorellina Marialuce. Questo cammino familiare iniziato quasi 2 secoli fà, è stato caratterizzato dal tramandarsi il mestiere di vignaiolo e cantiniere, con un passamano di esperienze professionali miscelate alla maturità tecnica e scientifica sviluppate in questo lungo periodo, senza mai ignorare la stagionalità ed i cicli della natura. Oggi utilizziamo moderne tecnologie in vigna, impiegando centraline meteorologiche e droni per conoscere lo stato vitale e patologico delle nostre piante, adoperando attrezzature meccaniche di precisione ed all'avanguardia per le lavorazioni del terreno. Queste pratiche agronomiche, ci permettono di ottimizzare la nostra filosofia biologica portandola all'estremo, con il minimo utilizzo di quantitativi di rame e zolfo e con uso di soli ammendanti e nutrienti organici. Ogni anno vogliamo così aumentare le autodifese delle piante ed arricchire biologicamente il terreno, incentivando al massimo la biodiversità, sicuri che questi sono elementi sempre più importanti per un territorio che noi vogliamo sano. Fin da piccoli abbiamo imparato ad amare la nostra vigna rispettandola come una madre, che ci offrirà i suoi frutti ai quali in cantina si devono prestare attenzione e passione, per ottenere un vino forte ed autentico nei suoi caratteri territoriali. Tutto questo ci permette di ricevere dalle nostre vigne, uve di qualità ed assoluta integrità sanitaria, che vinifichiamo sostenendo anche in cantina la pratica biologica, eseguendo direttamente noi familiari tutti i passaggi della produzione enologica, garantendo in questa il minimo utilizzo di solfiti.In questo viaggio di 2 secoli, percorso con attenzione verso ogni aspetto tecnico utile ad accrescere la nostra filosofia qualitativa ed il massimo rispetto del territorio, mai abbiamo dimenticato di guardarci indietro, per apprendere dal nostro passato i migliori indirizzi da applicare quotidianamente per la crescita futura. Tutte le nostre scelte, sono state sempre motivate dalla voglia di migliorare, di credere nella filosofia di produrre vini di carattere e personalità, di rimanere sempre fedeli alle peculiarità del territorio, di voler rappresentare il nostro stile familiare tramandatosi da 7 generazioni di persone vissute nella terra e nel vino.Vogliamo fare solo vini di territorio e vi preghiamo di scusarci se non vi piacessero perché non seguono le mode, ma questa è la filosofia che non abbandoneremo mai, perché in questa ci sono le radici profonde della famiglia Tiberini.

Stavolta tocca a tutto quello che circonda uno dei vini più particolari che viene da una delle cittadine del vino più affascinanti di questa regione, la perla della Val d'Orcia, Montepulciano. Il suo Vino Nobile è uno dei migliori di Toscana e fu il primo ad assicurarsi nel 1980 la naonata certificazione DOCG, la più restrittiva in Italia. Sebbene su queste colline l'uva cresca da almeno tremila anni c'è voluto parecchio prima che gli abitanti fossero in grado di produrre un vino pronto per dominare i mercati mondiali. Il successo ha portato grande fama e parecchi turisti in questa piccola gemma medievale.Se ascolterete la puntata intera saprete tutto quel che c'è da sapere su questo straordinario vino, la curiosa storia dietro il suo strano nome, le regole dello stretto disciplinare che i produttori devono rispettare per portarne il nome e molte altre curiosità. Visto che non ci facciamo mancare niente, vi racconteremo anche di alcuni wine tours particolari che sono organizzati da queste parti e una serie infinita di consigli piccoli e grandi sulle tante bellezze artistiche ed architettoniche racchiuse in questo paese arrampicato sulle splendide colline di questa parte della Toscana.

We are tasting the Vecchia Cantina 2016 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. It is a Sangiovese from southern Tuscany. This wine is from the Cooperative Vecchia Cantina de Montepulicano. We also talk about the different ways Sangiovese grapes are used in wines in north Central Italy.   Cooperative Vecchia Cantina de Montepulicano: https://vecchiacantinadimontepulciano.com/en/ Article on Sangiovese based wines: https://vinepair.com/articles/complete-sangiovese-wine-guide/   Visit our website: https://www.timetotastetx.com

Si prospetta un'estate lunga e ricca di eventi legati al vino quella in programma a Montepulciano, in provincia di Siena, patria della prima Docg italiana: il Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, ottenuto da uve coltivate esclusivamente nella zona di produzione e sottoposto ad un periodo di maturazione di almeno due anni, a partire dal 1º gennaio successivo alla vendemmia.

A wine that translates to " Noble Wine from Montepulciano" is worthy of our podcast! Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is one of Tuscany's classic red wines, made primarily from the Sangiovese grape. In this episode Master Sommelier Carlos Santos describes the subtleties between this bottle and a previous episode featuring a Nebbiolo as Angus struggles to identify the differences.

Sharing a name causes confusion. Trademark and appellation laws are there to protect them. However, it can be harder to resolve when this confusion is within the same country. That's the challenge Montepulciano (both the town and and the wine Vino Nobile di Montepulciano) faces against its bigger neighbor Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Max de Zarobe of Avignonesi describes the history, challenges, and steps taken to clarify the names and the wines.If you'd like to support the show, please sign up on Patreon!

This an episode about tiny little secrets. Do you have any? Have you been able keep them? In my case, I can't keep anything from Graham, my husband even when it's in my best interest like the time I had two separate car accidents, in the span of a few days, both in front of our home in Montepulciano, nella bella Toscana. Let's begin with the first accident. Just so you know when I told Graham what had happened, I reversed the order of events. The reason is simple. In the second case I was a victim, (la vittima) but in the first I was basically naïve o ingenua. Okay so the main character in incidente numero uno, was a certain Nun who no longer lives in Montepulciano. Let's call her Sister Goodness or Suor Bontà. She's young, giovane/ honest,/ onesta and has the energy of a Duracell battery with a smile that lights up the sky. It's that innocence of hers that catches me off guard every time. One day I met Suor Bonta' on the street right in front of our home. She was nervous because she was working on getting her driver's licence. You need to understand that driving for her was not only a matter of freedom but a point of pride that would have put her on the same level playing field as the other sisters. That fateful day, when we saw each other on the street Suor Bontà had just had a driving lesson on parallel parking in reverse. At the end of it, her instructor told her to practice as much as possible because on the day of the exam she would be scared and nervous. Makes sense. Italian instructor voice. So, in seeing me with Grigia, my Italian rental car, she begged me to let her work on parallel parking. “Silvana, ti prego di lasciarmi fare un po' di pratica con Grigia.” For a split second, I hesitated because according to the insurance policy, I was the only one allowed to drive the rental. Before you know it, we were both in the car. Sister Bontà in the driver's seat adjusting the rear-view mirror, and I'm next to her doing up my seat belt. And just as I am about to tell her to be careful , Suor Bonta' makes a quick and decisive move putting Grigia in first gear, not in reverse, causing her to sprint forward, not backwards, banging into the gate in front. Unfortunately, it wasn't any ole' gate, it so really old one – meaning historical because it dates back to the 16th century made of wrought iron. Ferro battuto It is also an entrance to one of the most prestigious wine cellars of Montepulciano where the famous Vino Nobile is stored in hundreds of wine barrels. Accidenti – Dang! Caspita ­– Yikes We quickly jumped out of the car, to look at the damage done to both the hood and the gate. Grazie a Dio there is only a little bit of paint has been pealed off the historic gate; Grigia, however, was worse off with a good dent. We looked at each other. Suor Bontà, became pale (palida) and so did I. And both of us feeling colpevole or guilty. Tearing running down her angelic face, she made me swear (giurare) to never tell the (La Madre Superiora) or the other nuns what had happened because they would never stop teasing her. Truth be told, with respect to me, I was more concerned about Graham who, once I would have told him, would have shaken his head and given me that looks that says “what were you thinking…were you out of you mind.” And being (buone cattoliche) good Catholics, Suro Bonta' and I agree to meet in to Church (in Chiesa) later that day to pray and atone for our guiltly feelings. Me, for not knowing how to say no, and Suor Bonta' for taking advantage of my own goodness. (THE END)

John from Tuscan Vines joins the show to discuss another lesser know Tuscan region, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.  If you're looking to continue exploring Italian wines and regions that are fantastic but also a great value this is a great listen.  Part of being a wine drinker is the journey of finding different expressions of the same varietal from different regions, this episode helps you find and understand sangiovese from Montepulciano.  

Photo: Consorzio del Vino Nobile di Montepulciano The Nobile Wine of Montepulciano is a wine based on a clone of Sangiovese and from a small hillside town in Tuscany called Montepulciano. It is, indeed, one of the great wines of the world. Although often overshadowed by its neighbors – Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti Classico – and confused with a grapey, high yielding producer in Abruzzo (the Montepulciano grape), this wine has class, style, and a legacy of greatness to back it up.   After ups and downs over nearly 2000 years of winemaking, Vino Nobile is experiencing a quiet revival and it's one of my favorite wines in Italy. Moderate in body with an interplay of fruit, herb, and brooding tea and forest-y aromas and flavors, this is a wine that those in the know (you!) will immediately fall in love with. With its latest comeback, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is back and better than ever. And who doesn't love a comeback story? Photo: Getty Images Here are the show notes: We discuss where exactly this hillside town is: in Tuscany, southeast of Siena, 40 minutes east of Montalcino We talk about the specific regulations the region has built into law to try to improve the wines: Grapes must grow on the slopes to qualify for the Vino Nobile DOCG 70-100% Sangiovese or 30% other red varietals (Colorino, Canaiolo Nero, Mammolo, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, other local grapes) and up to 5% Malvasia and other whites You can find all the laws here, as well as the requirements for aging. Here is the official page from the Consorzio del Vino di Montepulciano with the latest rules on aging, yields, etc. They also have proposed Pieve, as of 2021. We address the elephant in the room: Montepulciano IS not the grape, this wine is from the PLACE called Montepulciano!!! We get you squared away on the difference between these two wines – Montepulciano is a grape that makes an US$8-$10 wine. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is the noble wine made from Sangiovese in the Tuscan town of Montepulciano. It is based on a clone Sangiovese – Prugnolo Gentile History The wine has been noted since 55 AD. Montepulciano has been praised by merchants, authors, Popes, and politicians like Thomas Jefferson Phylloxera, mildews, World Wars, the Depression, and then an emphasis on quantity versus quality put the wines of Montepulciano in a real funk. It got lumped in with Chianti, lost its status, and that was a real setback for the region In 2017, six like-minded Montepulciano winemakers created a small association called Alliance Vinum to show the purest expression of single-vineyard Sangiovese/Prugnolo Gentile. The group calls these wines Nobile instead of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano to avoid confusion with the southern Italian grape. Here are the wines of this group: Avignonesi: Nobile Poggetto di Sopra Boscarelli: Costa Grande Cantine Dei: Madonna della Querce La Braccesca, an estate of the Antinori family: Podere Maggiarino Poliziano: Le Caggiole after a 20-year pause, Salcheto: Salco Vecchie Viti Photo: Getty Images Other wines we mention… Rosso di Montepulciano  Vin Santo    We review Pairing Suggestions with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano: Antipasti --Grilled Vegetables, fresh cheeses, cured meats like prosciutto, salami Pasta with tomato, truffle, Bolognese, mushrooms sauces Risottos with mushrooms Pizza, lasagna, eggplant Braised and roasted game, red meats.

Moving up the boot, we wander into the vineyards of Central Italy, which contains Tuscany, which is world famous  for its delicious Sangiovese; Chianti, Brunelo di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and lets not forget those rogues, the super- Tuscans. With the judicial addition of select international grape varieties we get the big dogs like Sassicaia, In this episode we check out some lesser- known wines from Montecucco. The we slide over to Abruzzo ( next door) for a little sip of everyone's favorite, affordable, pizza wine; Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Not to be confused with the Vino Nobile mentioned above.  Don't worry.  We sort it all out.

Someday, I will again be on top of upload schedules! It is not this day, however. But, this day I have another varietal deep dive for you! This day, we drink Montepulciano! More specifically, Elizabeth Krecker, who you may remember from several previous episodes, and I drink three bottles of this particularly fascinating grape. Two of the bottles are from local vineyards in Arizona, while the third bottle is from Abruzzo, Italy. For those who are not familiar, Montepulciano is a red varietal from the region of Abruzzo, Italy, as well as nearby regions such as Molise, Marche, Lazio, and Puglia. It is completely different from, and should not be confused with, the very different wine from Northern Italy, called Vino Nobile di Montepulciano; that wine is made from a clone of Sangiovese. But, this association with Sangiovese is not necessarily unwarranted, as genetic evidence indicates there is a genetic relationship between the two grape varietals. While Montepulciano is the second most planted grape in Italy after Sangiovese, here in the United States it is rather uncommon. Plantings in the US exist are focused around the American Southwest, being found in Texas, California, New Mexico, and Arizona. Indeed, a 2012 Montepulciano from Black Mesa Winery in New Mexico won the prestigious Jefferson Cup. However, I have been unable to find any information on how much acreage of Montepulciano has been planted in the United States. As for the two Arizona bottles in this episode, they come from two different AVAs in Arizona: the Sonoita AVA and the Willcox AVA. Enjoy!

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 521: Voices Series with Rebecca Lawrence - Caterina Dei Rebecca Lawrence sits down with Caterina Dei of Cantine Dei for this weekly instalment of the show entitled "Voices" - a series that focuses on diversity and inclusion in the wine industry. In 1964, Alibrando Dei purchased the land at Bossona and planted his first vineyard. It turned out to be an extraordinary place for producing great red wines. In the 1970s, he went on to purchase the villa at Martiena and surrounding farmland. The rest is history: the Dei family produced its first bottle of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano in 1985, thus starting a tradition as independent winemakers. Over the past twenty years, Caterina Dei has led the winery using the knowledge and tradition she inherited to cultivate the best of Montepulciano. Cantine Dei is a company founded on deep roots of tradition with a vision for innovation, find out more here https://www.cantinedei.it/en/

The Wine Thieves get their hands dirty with a star quartet of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano producers to learn why and how soil matters most to sangiovese, more than any other production parameter. Weighing in from their estates in Montepulciano are: Andrea Lonardi of Tenuta Tre Rose, Luca Tiberini of Tiberini, Luca Corrado of Boscarelli and Antonio Zaccheo of Carpineto. Sangiovese can be delicate! It can also be hearty, tannic, high acid, soft and approachable. A chameleon that is impressively reflective of terroir, we draw inevitable comparisons between Italy's most famous grape and another equally transparent one: pinot noir. We also learn to chill out, as stress is bad for everyone, including sangiovese. Momentum towards more sustainable production is underway with 68% of producers on board with new sustainable approaches to viticulture and winemaking in the Vino Nobile production region. Also on the round table: the future of "international" grape varieties, new production standards for Vino Nobile with sub-zones, Vin Santo as a natural wine, and, is subregional labelling important?  Don't miss this episode on the extraordinary wines of Montepulciano featuring John's insights on Rosso di Montepulciano as a must-have aperitivo and Sara's musings on the transcendental nature of the mother "madre" yeast.

This week the Wine Thieves head to Tuscany and more specifically to the DOCG of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Italy's first DOCG and "the king of all wines" according to poet Francesco Redi. They foolishly consider rolling an empty barrel  600m up to the top of the medieval hilltop town of Montepulciano  (in the "annual Bravio delle Botti"), to take advantage of the sweeping views of the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana, the latter home to Chianina cattle and source of the legendary Bistecca alla Fiorentina. In this first of a 3-part series, we speak with  president, Andrea Rossi,  and vice-presidents, Susanna Crociani and Luca Tiberini, (also all producers) of the Consorzio Vino Nobile di Montepulciano to learn of the illustrious history of the region, its traditions that united a community under the sphere of Florentine influence,  grape varieties, and soils. Sommelier student alert: we also get a sneak peak at the imminent changes to come from this multi-faceted wine growing region, including a new cru system of sub-zones named after local medieval parishes, defined by elevation, aspect and soils.  Pour yourself a glass of this southern-Tuscan sangiovese (aka prugnolo gentile), discover the past, present and future of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and let the heady aromas whisk you away to the historic hillsides of this classic Tuscan hilltop town.

Virginie Saverys ademt wijn. Vino Nobile om precies te zijn. Met een ongebreidelde passie voor de natuur leidt ze het wijnhuis Avignonesi. Bekend voor zijn elegante Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Eén van dé grote Toscaanse wijnen die net zoals Brunello en Chianti gemaakt is van de sangiovesedruif. "De koning van de Italiaanse druiven" volgens Virginie en ze teelt hem dan ook nog eens biodynamisch.Wat is die biodynamische wijnbouw? Hoe belandt een juriste uit een miljonairsfamilie tussen de Toscaanse wijnranken? Vanwaar de verwarring met Montepulciano d'Abruzzo? En wat met het almaar grilliger wordend Toscaanse klimaat?Virginie gaf alle antwoorden in de schaduw van het Antwerpse Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Avini. Een wijnbar, geleid door Eline de dochter van Virginie, waar je tientallen heerlijke Italiaanse wijnen per glas kan proeven.De wijnen van Avignonesi kan je uiteraard rechtstreeks kopen bij Avini in Antwerpen en ze worden over het hele land verdeeld door Licata Vini.

Sangiovese er druen som står bak verdenskjente og renommerte rødviner som Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino og Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. I dagens episode har vi snurret på lykkehjulet vårt, og det stoppet i Italia, nærmere bestemt på denne toskanske druen. Hva smaker rødvinen, hvilken mat passer til - og når er det helt riktig å velge en vin av Sangiovese? Hint: Asterix og Obelix. Vi prøver oss også på en liten tankelek: Hva ville skjedd dersom en allmektig diktator sørget for at all vin i verden ble laget av Sangiovese? Og finnes det en grunn til at druen ikke har blitt så populær å dyrke utenfor hjemstedet Toscana? Fortsett gjerne å sende inn spørsmål til oss. Vi setter stor pris på alt engasjementet!

This week, we revive the Grape Miniseries from podcasts of old to bring you: Sangiovese! The star of Central Italy that does amazing things when taken care of.  Here are the notes: History of Sangiovese Spotty history -- probably has existed a long time but wasn't mentioned until the 1500s. The name likely comes from the monks in Santarcangelo di Romagna at foot of Monte Giove, who chose the name of sanguis Jovis when forced to call wine by name other than vino. It could have also come from the ancient language of Etruscans, who used similar to words for an offer to the gods   Grape origins Probably from Sicily and Calabria – in 16th century there were grape exchanges between northern and southern Italian regions A cross of two reds: Ciliegiolo and Calabrese di Montenuovo   Climate, land, soil Needs warmth to ripen, but not too much Ripens better in Montalcino than Chianti – nights are warmer, less rainfall in Montalcino Chianti –  only 10% of the land good for cineyards Maremma – rich, broad, hot with short growing season. High alcohol, low aroma Autralia – Canberra in NSW, other warm areas show promise California – more intense sunlight, different character Soils –Tuscan soil is varied. The best for Sangiovese is galestro and albarese Soils are a challenge for New World Sangiovese winemakers Winemaking Important to get ripeness in the vineyard Traditional aging in large casks of Slavonian oak or Chestnut Modern styles use small French oak barriques Sangiovese is often blended – Canaille Nero, Coloring, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah are popular partners Sangio needs extra color, richness – low in acylated anthocyanins means light color Sangiovese Flavors Light juicy wine or huge complex ones or harsh Traditional wines: cherries, violets, tomatoe, herbs, tea-like notes, high acid, high tannin, not fruity International wines: vanilla, spice, oak, dark fruit, higher alcohol   Return of the Clones:  Clones – color, flavor, concentration of fruity, 102 clones of Sangiovese 1988 – Chianti Classico Conzorzio with Universities of Pisa and Florence– launched Chianti Classsico 2000 project to improved quality Found in: Italy: Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Marche, Puglia, Sicily, Umbria US: Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara. Washington State, New Mexico Other North America: Mexico, Ontario, BC Australia – growing Other New World: NZ, South Africa, Chile, Argentina, Brazil etc   The difference in Tuscan wines using Sangiovese: Maremma: dark black fruit, herbal Chianti Classico – cooler – sour cherry, red berry, violet, tea leaf Brunello di Montalcino – 100% Sangiovese, different depending on where it's grown in the appellation Vino Nobile di Montepulciano –  earthy, rich, lovely Emilia-Romagna – dark, dense, richer than Tuscan versions Marche – Rosso Piceno, Rosso Conero – usually blended with Montepulciano – can be gloppy Umbria -- fuller, denser than Tuscan versions   Thanks to our sponsors this week!  For a free month of amazing video lectures from The Great Courses Plus, go to my special URL: thegreatcoursesplus.com/wine   Storyworth: Sign up through my special URL and receive $20 off!  storyworth.com
