"Carlo Ferrini's Giodo 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is plush and softly layered, and the wine has plenty of fiber and cherry to absorb the power that comes naturally to this vintage. This is Carlo's seventh leaf (or vintage) of Brunello from his family-run estate, and it's nice to reflect on the consistency of style and quality achieved since this new venture emerged. Giodo has the advantage of coming onto the scene when international regard and understanding for Brunello was highest (think back to the excellent 2010 vintage). Carlo has not disappointed. He brings us a modern, forward-thinking wine that is rooted in local Tuscan winemaking tradition (just think, one of his first stints was at Soldera Case Basse years ago). This vintage brings home that signature Giodo personality with black cherry, dark fruit and elegant earthy end notes. At about 18-years-old now, his vines are entering an interesting chapter of their lifespan, and we can expect more great results from this estate. Production for this wine is 12,000 bottles." - The Wine Advocate

The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a purple hue strewn throughout its ruby color, as a bouquet of flowery undergrowth, ashen stone, medicinal cherry and blueberry wafts up from the glass. It enters the palate silky and seamless in feel, as red and black berries tinged with salty minerals settle in, creating a more tactile impression toward the close. This leaves grippy tannins to linger, mingling with residual acids that maintain freshness, though its fruit tapers off rather quickly.
