Description
 
Created by the famous and talented Tuscan enologist Carlo Ferrini, Podere Giodo is located in the heart on the Montalcino region, right outside the medieval hamlet of Sant'Angelo in Colle. Started as a personal project 10 years ago and with its first vintage in 2009, Podere Giodo is a small and exclusive production of Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino, sold primarily in North America and Northern Europe. In his 7 acres of vineyard, Ferrini planted 15 different clones of Sangiovese, which he selected throughout his entire career for their unique qualities and low yields. Ferrini farms organically and green harvests to reduce yields. His wine making style is gentle, with short macerations, use of ambient yeasts, and no pump-over. This discreet, small production is still a secret jewel among popular players of modern Tuscan wines.

Carlo Ferrini has now put three vintages of Giodo under his belt. This is the consulting enologist's personal property in Montalcino. Carlo felt the need to stretch his creative muscles and this avowed “Sangiovesista” set his sights on Montalcino. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is not as dense or rich as the two previous vintages released. This wine offers a subdued and streamlined personality that pegs it closer to classic Sangiovese without the exuberance - and irresistible controversy - that we can expect from this talented Tuscan winemaker. In fact, the wine shows little of Carlo's personal style that prizes density, opulence and concentration. Wild berry, pressed violets and spice rise from the bouquet. The wine is firm, delineated, muscular and powerful in terms of textural finesse. I feel confident of its aging potential. The mouthfeel will flesh out further with more time in the bottle. That said, I admit to feeling nostalgic for the grandeur and opulence that I associate with Carlo's vast portfolio of great wines. Go for it Carlo! Show us your stuff. This is a bashful vintage that I don't associate with your signature style. Wine Advocate 94
