    In your experience what is a typical breakdown of the different varieties in a Super Tuscan? Say 50% Sangiovese, 25 Cab Sauv, 25 Merlot? It seems to me Sangiovese is usually the majority….TIA

    • @NoSediment
      @NoSediment  7 місяців тому

      I actually think it is, or at least it was, the other way around. In the coastal area Sangiovese are not very well suited, therefore different grape varieties are grown. There are supertuscans made from vineyard more inland (Chianti and even Montalcino), and there Sangiovese could dominate more. 🤷‍♀️

    So is a super tuscan wine in a sense any tuscany wine that uses a combination of cab sauv, cab franc, and/or merlot in a blend? I was always told super tuscans would run me up about $100, but I see other tuscan wines with those blended grapes for $10-$15

    • @NoSediment
      @NoSediment  11 місяців тому +2

      Well, Supertuscan could also be a 100% Sangiovese. It is not only French grape varieties. It used to be that Chianti Classico couldn’t be made from 100% Sangiovese (now it can be) and producers, who did it, had to downgrade their wines to IGT Toscana. 🤷‍♀️

      SuperTuscans are so versatile that it is very difficult to generalise about food. I would look more deeply into grape varieties these wines are made of - and match those with food. 🤷‍♀️

    The term still confuses me a little. Apart from, I assume, that they have to be from Tuscany, I struggle to find any clearly defined parameters. It sounds like a market nick name bestowed upon certain labels that saw formidable success in the wake of a shift to French grapes and production methods. So I assume you have to know this list of labels to identify super Tuscans.

    • @NoSediment
      @NoSediment  Рік тому +1

      That is exactly correct- that is not defined term with specific parameters. One will say that Super Tuscans are made in the area closer to the coastal line, but in reality it can also be wine made in Chianti or Montalcino. 🤷‍♀️ This term also doesn’t appear on the labels, it is really a nickname, as You mentioned Yourself. 🍷

    I am sincerely trying to like Tuscan wines. But failing. At the price I'm prepared to pay, around Euro 20, i am just disappointed with the harshness, lack of fruit, and unpleasant aftertaste. How much does one need to pay to get a pleasant experience of Chianti or Brunello. Value for money Tuscany doesn't come near the French. 😢

    • @NoSediment
      @NoSediment  7 місяців тому

      I would probably argue other way around. There are always exceptions, but for me Italy offers way more value, that saying Tuscany is one of the most expensive regions and here the price/quality ratio might be harder to spot, that is true. 🙏🏻 Maybe Tuscany is not to Your taste? We don’t need to force ourselves to drink something that doesn’t bring us pleasure, despite what others might say.. ☺️

    Only specialized journalists with houses in Tuscany (I am not referring to you) can write that there is even just a Supertscan with the depth and elegance of a Bordeaux. In Tuscany they should only think about making good Sangiovese and not bee the greatness and prices of wines from Bordeaux.

    • @NoSediment
      @NoSediment  2 роки тому +1

      I agree that Sangiovese is great grape variety and I am happy that more producers nowadays are focusing on it and increasing its proportions in the blends. However, I am not against use of other grapes. For example, because of them Tuscany’s coastal area got that reputation. Chianti, Montalcino and Montepulciano are way more inland. Also, some of the Supertuscan wines are still so, so approachable, for example Vigorello by San Felice. 😉
