Giodo Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Drink it now, or cellar for 10-15 years. It is recommended to decant it for one hour.

Podere Giodo is the winery founded and managed in the Montalcino area by Carlo Ferrini, a famous Italian winemaker.

Brunello di Montalcino Podere Giodo is produced with Sangiovese grapes from more than 15 different clones, especially selected for their low yields capable of guaranteeing the highest quality of the grapes. The vineyards, planted on soils rich in skeleton and limestone at an altitude of about 300 meters, are naturally protected, given their proximity to Monte Amiata, from hail storms. The winemaking process begins with the alcoholic fermentation of the must in stainless steel vats using only indigenous yeasts. It continues with a gentle and short-lasting maceration without pumping over to avoid excessive extraction that could cloud the elegance of the wine. Aging takes place in 500-liter oak barrels for about 24 months.

This Brunello has an intense ruby red color.On the nose, it displays hints of red fruit, including strawberry and cherry, ripe black fruit, such as blackberry and dried blueberries, and floral aromas of violets and roses to finish. There is also a hint of spices, followed by chocolate and licorice. It is slightly tannic, dry, warm, and robust in the mouth with a persistent finish. This Brunello is a classic Sangiovese wine with a modern twist: rich and powerful but at the same time endowed with excellent roundness and substance. Try it with red meat stews, game and aged Pecorino.
