April 18, 2024
Giodo Brunello is Montalcino's greatest 100-point secret. Giodo quietly arrived on the wine scene a little over a decade ago. Shortly thereafter, Wine Spectator featured Carlo Ferrini, Giodo's owner, as "one of Montalcino's great winemakers," and "one of Montalicino's best kept secrets."
2019 is a historic Brunello vintage, one that is being compared to 2010, 2016, and even 1997.
While 2019 has produced a slew of excellent wines, the 2019 Giodo Brunello will be one of the greats from this vintage!
I would rank the 2019 [Giodo] 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... 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." Wine Advocate's Monica Lerner
The Giodo vineyards are intentionally kept discrete. To get there, you need to travel up an unpaved forest road outside the medieval hamlet of Sant Angelo.
As the former winemaker of Casanova di Neri (as well as consulting for clients Ricasoli and Telenti), Carlo keeps his vineyard location hidden as not to upstage his high-profile clients.
A must-have vintage and wine, the 2019 Giodo Brunello should not be missed!
With countless 100 point scores over the past few years, keeping the Giodo secret is going to be difficult!
Enjoy!
