Thank you for you videos: they are very useful (expecially for an italian wine lover who wants to know more about french wines)! Just 3 corrections: 1) In Piemonte thera are no IGT, all appellations are DOCG or DOC. 2) The name Dolcetto is not related to any charachteristic of the wine itself. Someone says that is related to the sweetness of the grapes because birds like those grapes (they ripen before Barbera and Nebbiolo); but the most reliable hypotesis is that the name Dolcetto cames from "Dusset": in the local slang it means "low hill"). This is important because the status of "ugly duck" came in part from the fact that people outside of Piemonte thought that Dolcetto was a kind of sweet wine! 3) Barbera superiore d' Asti Nizza is a separeted DOCG from 2014 (2016) and it's called Nizza docg; this is no just bureaucracy! It's important because for the first time the grape Barbera is related to a territory without the need of specify the name of the grape; like Nebbiolo for Barolo and Barbaresco, Sangiovese for Brunello di Montalcino and Vosne Romanee for Pinot Noir (ok, these examples are exagerrated but the concept should be clear!)
As someone who is new to the world of Italian wines, your knowledge and the way you communicate it has been a great help allowing me to understand the great complexities of this subject. Thank you. Look forward to many more!
You should be as big as the other channels, this is great content and the extra length in the videos makes them the perfect length to listen in the car or on the move. Very good content here
