Giodo La Quinta 2020

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant it but best to open it half an hour before serving.

Podere Giodo is a small winery born between 2001 and 2003 from the great passion for wine of Carlo Ferrini, an internationally renowned winemaker. Their vineyards extend for five and a half hectares at 300 meters above sea level in the southwestern area of Montalcino. Carlo Ferrini planted his ideal vineyard here, personally selecting the Sangiovese clones with great care. The production is artisanal and limited: the Brunello di Montalcino is produced in very few examples and receives huge awards from the greatest critics in the sector.

La Quinta wine was named after the vineyard, the fifth in order of time, planted by Carlo Ferrini, thinking precisely of this wine and its particular characteristics. It is aged in large wooden barrels for 12 months and elevated in cement, acquiring an impressive maturity.

This is an intense and elegant Tuscan wine with a clear, luminous and almost transparent ruby red color. On the nose, it is subtle and expresses a bouquet characterized by delicate hints of violet, aromas of morello cherry, small red berries, ripe cherries, nuances of spontaneous shrubs of the Mediterranean scrub and soft spices. The wine is smooth and full-bodied in the mouth, with mature tannic texture and fruity aromas of great fragrance and finesse, leading to a fresh, savory finish with good gustatory persistence. Have it with mushroom lasagna or grilled red meat.
