2021 Giodo "Pretto" Brunello di Montalcino

James Suckling
Review Date: 12/2025A new wine that is a cask selection. It’s certainly different from the normal bottling, with aromas of red cherries, cedar, hibiscus and crushed stones. The palate shows round tannins and a juicy and savory finish. A second wine of this estate. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2028.

Notes
The 2021 Giodo Brunello di Montalcino "Prètto" is an exciting addition to the Podere Giodo lineup, born from the collaboration between Carlo Ferrini and his daughter, Bianca. While the flagship Giodo is known for its "grandeur," the Prètto (meaning "pure" or "straightforward") is a barrel selection designed to emphasize a more spontaneous, vibrant, and energetic expression of Sangiovese. On the nose, it is exceptionally clean and luminous, offering a bouquet of crisp red fruits like cherry, wild strawberry, and redcurrant, accented by floral notes of hibiscus, cedar, and a refreshing flinty minerality. The palate is tonic and agile, featuring a solid structure that never feels heavy, supported by a lively acidity and soft, well-defined tannins that enhance its drinkability. It finishes with a savory, long persistence marked by balsamic touches and fine spices. It is a Brunello that perfectly captures the brilliance of the 2021 vintage, prioritizing freshness and the sincerity of the fruit while maintaining the signature Ferrini elegance.
