Notes
The 2021 Giodo Brunello di Montalcino is a monumental and ethereal expression of Sangiovese, crafted by the legendary enologist Carlo Ferrini from a vintage already being hailed as a modern classic. On the nose, it is strikingly pure and perfumed, offering a vital ensemble of wild strawberries, redcurrant, and pomegranate layered with sophisticated notes of bergamot, flint, and exotic sweet spices. The palate is medium-to-full bodied and remarkably graceful, balancing a concentrated core of black cherries and bramble fruit with ultra-fine, velvety tannins and a vibrant, cooling acidity. It finishes with immense length and energy, marked by a savory mineral snap and lingering tones of blood orange and licorice. This is a diamond-sharp Brunello that prioritizes elegance and transparency, built for long-term cellaring but possessing a seamless harmony even in its youth.
