Descripción

Este tinto se puede resumir en dos palabras: equilibrio y elegancia. La elegancia que Carlo Ferrini, propietario de la bodega Giodo, busca en cada expresión de su Sangiovese, y el gran equilibrio de estos viñedos situados entre Sant'Angelo in Colle y Sant'Antimo en un paraje ideal para la viticultura. Este Brunello di Montalcino 2019 refleja todas las características de una añada excelente, rozando la perfección.

Opinión de los críticos

James Suckling:

Aromas of cedar, earth, tree bark, fruit tea, black tea and cherries. Then it turns to fresh and dried flowers. Medium to full body as it grows on the palate with superb fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It’s structured and powerful with great length. The acid, tannin balance is incredible. Very clear and transparent. What a wine. Drinkable but better in three or four years.

The Wine Advocate:

When I tasted this wine with its maker, the celebrated enologist Carlo Ferrini, he told me that he put every last drop of love into the 2019 vintage. He believes it is the best wine he has made thus far at his relatively new Giodo project that started in 2009. Indeed, I would rank the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino as high as or even better than the best vintages made at this boutique estate. In my mind, they are 2010, 2016 and now 2019. This wine comes from a three-hectare plot with 19-year-old vines that are cared for obsessively. This amphitheater-shaped parcel called La Poderina is nestled deep within the forest on a steep slope that overlooks Monte Amiata in the distance. The soils are white in color with lots of rocks. This is a wine of depth and dimension, with vibrant energy, elegant balsamic notes and sweetly ripened fruit. The medium fruit weight is balanced against the wine's acidity and fine tannins. It ends with floral notes of violet and iris.
