    I love Sicilian wines! I've lived in Sicily for three years, and I've enjoyed learning about and trying all of these wines.

    Every single wine I’ve had from Sicilia has been amazing. Everything from a sparkling Carricante to an 100+ year old vine Nerello Mascalese that was to die for. Amazing wines. Many thanks!!

      I had a Pinot Grigio from Sicily that wasn’t very good. But all the red wines I’ve had from Sicily were good.

    I always love the tasting notes on Sicilian white wines.........anything that draws a parallel with Riesling, count me in!! :-) . I really dig stuff from Donnafugata. I have to mention one of my all time favorite white grapes(related to Grillo), ZIBIBBO!! :-) :-) :-)
    I discovered Nero d'Avola back in the mid 2000s, and thought it was the greatest QPR I'd ever discovered!. Back then Frappato was the most popular wine at many pizzarias around hollywood. Lighter bodied, with lots of acid, and still juicy.
    ..................Great job as always !
    Unrelated side note: Have you ever considered voice over work???........your voice is perfect for that!! ;:-)

    Wow, I am in awe: you are very precise and accurate in your tasting notes and you have a very broad wine knowledge!! I mistakenly started watching this video assuming I could tell you about nerello mascalese... Well, I can try 😅:
    "Etna Rosso is a red wine made from two types of Nerello grapes, Nerello Mascalese (min. 80%) and Nerello Mantellato, also called Nerello Cappuccio, (max. 20%). The latter grape assists in giving the otherwise pale red wine a little bit of color in its cheeks."

    Good one. I love Sicilian wine, but I have this sort of preconception that they're better when they're fresh and table friendly, sugarish in a sense. (I'm the kind of sinner that dips bread into those) This video gives new perspective, a due attention to these wines complexity.

  • @beholden1663

    Interesting video as a novice to wine tasting . It seems that wine tasting is analyzing and intellectual. It’s similar to people who review micro beers and imported beer. Sometime I think people exaggerate. I mean I know wine tasting can be complex due to the chemistry of different fruits and the alchemical process in producing fine wines. But I’ve heard wine tasters use descriptions of apricot notes, cinnamon notes, cake batter, prunes, sea salt,cookie notes, pecan notes, cucumber notes and smell, orange peel, coffee feel notes, molasses smell, honey notes, blackberry notes, almond smell. I even heard a wine reviewer say he smelled peanut butter notes and pumpkin notes in the wine.
    I mean it’s funny wine tasting -wine tasting can be anything and everything one’s imagination conjures up.
    That’s why wine is very divine and mysterious and mystical. Thank you!

    Let me help you out with pronunciation: Mostly pretty good for a non-Italian. Except for the first one: not Nero-dee-AH-vo-lah. Too many syllables, wrong accent. Try Nero DAH-vo-la. Not difficult, but more italianate. And delicious.

      hey great question. There are many red wines with lower tannins. You might look into varieties like Pinot Noir, Cinsault, Zweigelt (from Austria!), Frappato, - if you need more ideas, check out the Wine Folly book: a.co/d/1xfX3rP

    • @pijafinocchio
      @pijafinocchio 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The majority of volatile compounds responsible for aroma combine with sugars in the wine to form odorless glycosides. Through the process of hydrolysis, caused by enzymes or acids in the wine, they revert into an aromatic form. The act of tasting wine is essentially the act of smelling these vaporized aroma compounds.

    You use the word _"almost"_ far too often. Go through the video and count, seriously. Either it has that note, then it isn't only almost there, it's there. If not then it also isn't almost there, it just isn't.
