Giodo

Here comes the fresher, lighter, but no less elegant version of Ferrini's Sangiovese interpretation with just 8,000 bottles on the market. The purist beauty of small red fruits, including raspberry and summer cherry, combined with floral undertones, pepper and a hint of Mediterranean maquis combine to create a cool, aristocratic Rosso that expresses the Carlo Ferrini signature like no other! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, luminous ruby red. Fresh and inviting nose of fresh strawberry, raspberry, a hint of cream and butter biscuit make it particularly inviting. Very polished and clear on the palate, tightens up with salty tannin, subtle perceptible woodiness on the finish." Falstaff

"Exhibits a strong Sangiovese character, with cherry, earth, iron and leather aromas and flavors. Solidly built and nicely balanced, leaving an aftertaste of savory cherry, iron and tobacco accents." Wine Spectator

"A pretty red with density and richness, offering cherry and chocolate aromas and flavors, as well as hazelnuts. Yet, it's tight and so fine and focused. Very polished tannins run the length of the palate." James Suckling

"This is rich and perfumed on the nose with sweet-berry, rose-hip and sandalwood character. Full-bodied with a round, juicy palate of lots of ripe-berry and cedar undertones. Succulent and tangy at the end. Very enticing now. but will be even better in 2023." James Suckling

"A classic southern Tuscany nose that exhibits black fruit, terracotta, tapenade and earth. The palate is bold, chewy with fine acids and plenty of energy." Decanter

When the world-famous oenologist Carlo Ferrini makes his own wine, one can be excited. He has succeeded here in creating an interpretation of Sangiovese that brings all his experience from decades of working with this grape variety to the point as if through a burning glass. The moderate use of wood through ageing in 700-litre tonneaux expresses the clarity and personality of the grape and the unique terroir (there are just 1.5 hectares of the best Brunello sites) in an archetypal way. A great harmony of dark cherries, black fruits, spices, leather and tobacco, ideally integrated tannins and great persistence will quickly make the few thousand bottles a sought-after collector's item.

"Carlo Ferrini, who otherwise advises numerous wineries throughout Italy, has created his own masterpiece here. But first things first: First, it opens elegantly, rich in finesse with subtle souplesse. A wonderful liaison of floral notes and rather red berry fruits is revealed: Juicy ripe raspberries, red currants and pomegranate. You can already feel the freshness and that the harvest was done à point. Everything is very complex and precisely woven, intense with a dense body and silky tannins, very distinguished and noble. Bravo! Great!" Weinwisser

"Noble, dark ruby with garnet. Wonderful, open-hearted and inviting nose of black cherries, ripe blackberries, plums, paired with slightly earthy nuances. On the palate then with fine-meshed tannin, opens in many layers, juicy, with fine melting, long and adherent, noble spice in the finish." Falstaff

"Upon meeting Carlo Ferrini for the first time some 15 years ago, I remember vividly when he described himself as a Sangiovesista, or an adherent of the school of Sangiovese. Many years later, and perhaps to cement that self-appointed moniker, the wine consultant has now settled in Montalcino, or the ultimate holy ground to Sangiovese. Ferrini has embarked on his Giodo estate, creating his own temple to the mighty Tuscan grape. As a consultant, Ferrini has endured many stylistic transformations over the years, but the personality embraced in his 2016 Brunello di Montalcino celebrates varietal purity, balance and elegance, and I write those words free of hyperbole. Delicate forest berry fruits open to spice, forest floor and balsam herb. The wine presents a pretty wave of freshness, followed by firm tannins and enough fruity texture to smooth over the palate. This is a career-defining wine for this proud Sangiovesista." Robert Parker

"Seamless is a great way to describe this red wine with intense aromas of plums, cherries, walnut and sandalwood. Some lightly toasted oak, roses and lavender as well. Really aromatic. The palate is full and extremely polished with super fine tannins that go on for minutes and spread across your palate. A great wine, following the perfect, 100-point 2015." James Suckling
