Giodo, La Quinta Toscana 2018

94 points James Suckling
"A pretty red with density and richness, offering cherry and chocolate aromas and flavors, as well as hazelnuts. Yet, it’s tight and so fine and focused. Very polished tannins run the length of the palate."

93 points Wine Spectator
"Exhibits a strong Sangiovese character, with cherry, earth, iron and leather aromas and flavors. Solidly built and nicely balanced, leaving an aftertaste of savory cherry, iron and tobacco accents. Sangiovese."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Carlo Ferrini, the renowned Italian winemaking consultant that worked with well-known Brunello estates in the past and started his own project in Montalcino in 2002 when he found 2.5 hectares of land suitable to making great Sangiovese wines. Ferrini's first vintage was 2009, from which he made 3,000 bottles. Today the estate owns 5.5 hectares (2.5 hectares of Brunello and 3.5 of IGT Toscana Rosso, also planted to Sangiovese). The vines are located between 300 and 400 meters above sea level. He planted his vineyard with what he believes are the best Sangiovese clones he has worked with over the years.
