Giodo

This is the fresher, lighter, but no less elegant version of Ferrini's Sangiovese interpretation with just 8,000 bottles. The puristic 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 signature of Carlo Ferrini like no other!

When the world-famous oenologist Carlo Ferrini makes his own wine, one can be curious. Here he has succeeded in creating an interpretation of Sangiovese that brings to the fore his entire experience from decades of working with this grape variety as if through a burning glass. The 2015 edition is one of the most elegant and at the same time most accessible Brunello we have ever had in a glass. The moderate use of wood due to the ageing in 700l-tonneaux expresses the clarity and personality of the grape and the unique terroir (there are only 1.5 hectares of best Brunello sites) in an archetypal way. A great harmony of dark cherries, black fruits, spices, leather and tobacco, ideally integrated tannins and a great persistence will quickly make the few thousand bottles a sought-after collector's item.

"Sparkling ruby grenade. Compact nose, yet fresh, reveals notes of ripe cherries, goji berries, some plum cake in the background. Extremely juicy on the palate, lots of fresh fruit, cherry in all its varieties, fresh, pickled and slightly dried, lively, fresh acidity, finely woven tannin, very energetic wine." Falstaff

"The Giodo 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is a real stunner with a tight, finely knit texture that transcends and ultimately unites both the bouquet and the mouthfeel, putting them on an even playing field. This gives the wine a broad sense of unity and wholeness that is the key to withstanding the aging process one would expect to submit this bottle to. At this young stage, Giodo's Brunello reveals blue flowers, wild berry, camphor ash and delicate spice. This wine shows a compressed sense of intensity that expands quickly after you lift the proverbial lid off the box. As it breathes in air and takes on more volume, it also leaves a deeper impression on your nose and palate. It closes with a simple note of sweet cherry that makes for a perfect postscript." Robert Parker

"This is a splendid Brunello, showing extraordinary purity of sangiovese character. Cherry and floral aromas and flavors. Full-bodied with incredibly integrated tannins that seem like they are not there. But they are and are comprehensive on the palate. Great depth and agility. Just floats on the palate. Magic carpet. Drinkable, to enjoy the magic, but needs three or four years to come around." James Suckling
