Excellent presentation of the wines and, most of all, of Piemonte. That's where I come from. You highlighted an aspect that often remains disregarded: the proximity of Piedmont with France and, in particular, Burgundy. If Nebbiolo has a soul mate, it's Pinot Noir. And if there is one thing great Burgundies and great Piedmont reds have in common, that's elegance and finesse. You are really passionate and made me nostalgic about my region. Thank you from a young Piedmontese sommelier !!
Your package does deliver. You make me want to drink and eat listening to you talk about the various aspects of these different grapes. Thanks for this.
Hi Ronald, thank so much for your kind words. Please check out this weeks tasting Understanding Nebbiolo: Barolo and Gattinara. Use code NEBBIOLO10 to save $10 off and order of $50 or more. Cheers!
Jennifer you are great, I'm glad I discovered this channel. I like the density of information you provide, your master of wine definitely shines through!
The dill flavor you mentioned in American Oak would generally come from Red Oak varieties. Where the American White Oak offers the vanilla/coconut flavor.
Good video. I'm a Barolo and Barbaresco fan and am going to Piedmont in September. Do you have any stand out wineries to recommend visiting? I've had some Aldo Conterno, Prunotto etc. and am thinking of those, but maybe you know a "must visit" winery? Thanks in advance.
@@djamesv I know, I saw it. But I thought I'd just write it for future reference. I am from Piedmont and I like to recommend lesser known, yet exclusive wines from my region. You might be able to find some of those on the internet.
@@amoreazione3563 Thank you. After a week in Tuscany, I spent a week in Piedmont (a villa in Pratomorone) and cycled mostly around the area between Asti and Alba. The best wine experience I had was at a restaurant in Canale (Leon D'Oro). The owner brought us a Barbera D'Asti that she had made for the restaurant locally and it was fantastic. We bought a bunch and I intended to bring some back to Canada, but they were drunk before we left!
@@djamesv ahah! That's typical. You might find some good barbera at the LCBO in case you are from Ontario. Such a small world though. Canale is not far from my house and I have been to Canada many times. Talking about a good Canadian wine, I have been amazed by Tawse Cabernet Franc 2014. Stellar wine
In Italy, the term Superiore means the wine has been aged longer and typically, has a higher alcohol content (about .5% higher). In Piedmont, it also means the yield of the vineyards has to be managed more closely.
Fantastic descriptions! Very insightful!

I love Dolcetto! Merlot, Dolcetto, and Pinot Noir are absolutely my 3 favorites, with Syrah close behind. I’ll have to try Barbera next 😍
Just love your descriptions

I thought it is black truffles? I love dolcheto, one of my favorite Italian wines, great video!!
Thank you smiley.

Check out Rinaldi, Bartolo Mascarello, Oddero. All very expensive, but with tremendous aging and developing potential
@@amoreazione3563 , thanks, that was last year! ;)

Hey Jennifer would you be able to send me those three bottles? I would really love to taste those.
