Vintages write wine history – and 2021 is deeply engraved in Montalcino. Extreme drought, intense sunshine, nights that remained cool despite everything: The Sangiovese vines responded with concentrated, aromatically dense grapes that yielded little but showed a clear signature. For La Quinta, the wine from Ferrini's fifth vineyard at 400 metres above the Castello di Sant'Angelo in Colle, this meant an emphatic vintage. The vinification follows the tried and tested rhythm: 7 days of fermentation in steel, 13 days of maceration, then a year of ageing in tonneaux, large oak barrels and cocciopesto amphorae made of baked clay, before the wine is left to rest in cement and finally matures for at least 6 months in the bottle.

Deep ruby red with a violet tinge. Aromatically expressive: dark cherry, blackberry, liquorice, a hint of cocoa. The palate shows density and energy at the same time – the tannins are present but silky, the acidity provides tension, the final ensures persistence. A La Quinta that impresses early on and will continue to grow. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, elegant ruby red colour with a delicately brightening rim. Fragrant, inviting nose of juicy cherries, rose hips, plus fine, elegant spice, oranges, floral notes, dried violets, with a cherry juice aftertaste. Exciting and juicy on the palate on entry, with dancing fruit and acidity, showing a beautiful arc, savoury and accessible, great Sangiovese!" Falstaff

"An intense aroma of stone fruit and fresh berries, flanked by herbal and sandalwood flavours; rich in tannins and mineral on the palate, with a long finish on notes of forest fruits, flowers and spices. Full-bodied and yet with finesse." Vinum

"Bright and vibrant on the palate, so beautifully expressed fruit flavours of raspberry and red cherry alongside bright acidity that is so clean and precise. Joyful expression with hints of caramelised strawberries and fresh mint. So sharp but so well defined with a clarity on the palate that is beautiful. Not totally complex, but a balanced, easy to enjoy wine with plenty of life." Decanter

"The Giodo 2021 La Quinta, whose Sangiovese comes from the estate's younger vines, is bold and bright with cherry jam, raspberry syrup and tart flavours of blood orange and nectarine. The wine is easy to drink, with open fruit and a reassuringly transparent personality. The finish is lean and fresh." Wine Advocate

"Beautiful sweet berries and plums with some cherries. Fir tree and other forest notes. Medium to full body. Round tannins and fresh acidity. Tangy and lively. Delicious right now, but will age beautifully." James Suckling
