Beskrivelse
GIODO Brunello di Montalcino 2017
"This is my dream"
- Carlo Ferrini
Den legendariske winemaker, Carlo Ferrini, har vel flere 100 points vin i sin portefølje end nogen anden italiensk vinmager.
Den hårdtarbejdende Carlo lavede de fleste 100-points pletskud for andre vinhuse – lige indtil, han fik råd til at købe det frimærkestore, gude-terroir som han navngav GIODO.
Navnet GIODO har en helt særlig betydning for Carlo Ferrini. Det er nemlig en hyldest til hans mor GIOvanna og far DOnatello, der kæmpede under svære kår for, at han skulle få en uddannelse.
Det her er kult-Brunello fra allerøverste hylde og i årgang 2017 er Falstaff helt oppe at ringe med 98 points Det bliver ikke meget større end det her!
Smagenote
Forførende og koncentreret næse med røde bær i form af kirsebær, hindbær og ribs samt florale hints af hibiscus og hyldeblomst. Efter et par rundture i glasset åbner GIODO op får hyper-komplekse noter af skovbund, orangeskal, fine skovbær og friske urter. I munden ubegribeligt frugtfyldig med supplerende noter af mandler og ceder fra fadet. Den minutlange finish bliver båret frem af silkebløde tanniner, der fuldender en uforglemmelig vinoplevelse. Drik nu, eller gem +20 år fra høståret.
Anmeldelser af GIODO Brunello di Montalcino 2017
98/100 Falstaff
“Tasting: In the Champions League of Wine”
96/100 James Suckling
“A full-bodied Brunello with lots of plums and cherries, as well as orange-peel character. It’s creamy and round-textured. Soft and chewy tannins. Shows the warmth and ripeness of the 2017 vintage”
96/100 GardiniNotes.com
”The refined project of Carlo and Bianca Ferrini behind a bottle that continues to amaze for qualitative merits: black currant, caper and nuances of dried fruit toasted to the nose, with closure on the notes of orange peel. The mouthfeel is dense and thick with brackish tannins. The finish is fruity.”
96/100 Intravino
“Richness and style”
95/100 International Wine Report
"Elegant and noble showing a complex sensory profile reminiscent of sour cherries, red prunes, agapanthus flowers, mandarin rind and cumin. Full bodied, light tannins and a finale in the classic mold showing quality in each important sip and a great desire to return to the glass."
95/100 Decanter
"This has a distinctive and aromatic nose with herbal aromas alongside red cherries and black bramble fruit. The palate is so juicy with such life and an almost sweet touch to the acidity. It tastes youthful and brimming with fervent energy - alive in the best possible way. Tannins are well integrated and the texture overall is smooth and refined. 30 months in 25hl and 40hl traditional Slavonian oak casks, followed by 18 months ageing in bottle."
95/100 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
"After the amazing last few years that Giodo has enjoyed, the 2017 vintage doesn’t quite have the same levels of succulence but this is still an exceptional wine. Clear smoke on the first nose, aromatically rich, with touches of rosemary, saffron and white pepper alongside red cherry and raspberry fruit. Hugely concentrated, the tannins take a grip on your palate and tug the fruit back as it moves through the palate, keeping your focus engaged. 30% lower yield than normal. This will be released in September but not available for immediate delivery because it is finishing up its two years in bottle ageing (after three years in barrel).
Carlo Ferrini winemaker."

Om producenten
GIODO-projektet er Carlo Ferrinis store drøm. Han fik en enestående karriere som konsulent for andre vinhuse, hvor han producerede adskillige100-point vine. Derefter købte Carlo Ferrini i 2002 sin egen frimærke store vinmark på blot 2,8 hektar (der med tiden er øget til 6). Her plantede han 15 forskellige Sangiovese-kloner og døbte hele marken GIODO - som hyldest til forældrene GIOvanna og DOnatello.
