 I don't know why I love San Giovese so much I mean I get I think there's a couple reasons when I was in graduate school and I was just getting into wine I took a backpacking trip to Europe and we were in Luka in the walled city of Tuscany and I remember friends I were broke graduate students so what do we do we ordered a liter of house wine and I can just remember we're in Tuscany it must have been San Giovese just putting my face in the carafe and smelling it for about five minutes San Giovese is one of my favorite red grapes in the world I like it in all forms and all different parts of Tuscany you know the more famous regions Canty Classico, Brunello di Montalcino but there's a lot of regions I think that are underappreciated that make fantastic wines and vino nobile is one of them and we have two here to taste today I know the Avonio Nessie farms biodynamically I think El Conventino does both these wines are from 2016 which I think is a tremendous vintage in Italy in Tuscany and all of Italy and a lot of places in Europe and I would advise people to buy a lot of reds and whites for that matter from 2016 from Italy for all price points I don't think that you can go wrong the Il Conventino is it's got that just that touch of rusticity I love it's very clean wine but still it's got a touch of rusticity get a lot of leather lots of leather you know tobacco but those kind of basalmic notes not vinegar but basalmic notes sour cherry as well this wine has real nice tarp sour cherry raspberry red fruit notes and it just burst with acidity and had these chewy tans that I love about San Giovese it's not a big modern wine it's really classic San Giovese you know the village of multiple Chiano is actually quite close to Montalcino where they make the more famous Brunello do Montalcino it's not it's pretty much on the same latitude wise it's just a little bit further east I know the wines want to be kind of more like Montalcino and stuff I think it's a nice medium between Chianti Classico and kind of get still get those earthy tobacco mineral notes and the bigger fruit Brunello it's somewhere in between and there's nothing wrong with having your own style having a nacy this is the 2016 I haven't had other you know no bilés in a couple years I'm really excited to see how this comes out mmm this one's a little bit make a little more brighter a little more fruitier maybe shows a little bit more wood smells maybe a little bit more modern but that's not a bad thing by any stretch on the palate so comes back classic San Giovese classic sour cherry tart red fruit for our tart red forest fruits both these wines you get a nice breaking red in color you can tell they're true San Giovese you can see your fingers through them avanacea is a hundred percent San Giovese Il Conventino has some canyonello and colorino in it as well mmm both just outstanding food outstanding wines to drink by themselves or with food with pastas these this stuff can be great braised meat oh just wonderful stuff I know I'm not the best-looking guy in the world but you know when I drink San Giovese I feel sexy hello thanks for watching hey you made it to the end make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel click the bell so you know when new videos are out if you like content like this check out our Patreon page where you get some behind-the-scenes exclusive content thanks for watching cheers
