Crafted by renowned Tuscan enologist Carlo Ferrini, this vintage is widely considered his finest Brunello to date from the Giodo project. Sourced from a tiny three-hectare parcel, it captures the purity, finesse and energy that have quickly made Giodo a reference point in modern Brunello.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2019 shows a luminous, medium to deep ruby core with garnet reflections forming at the rim, reflecting both youth and classic Brunello typicity. The nose is beautifully layered: sweet red cherries, wild strawberries and blood orange peel mingle with balsamic hints, dried herbs, and a delicate floral lift of violet and iris. Subtle notes of graphite, rosewood and stony minerality add further complexity as it opens.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet strikingly intense, with ripe, sweet-toned red fruit wrapped in vibrant acidity and ultra-fine tannins. There is real depth and dimension here: succulent cherry and plum, a touch of pomegranate, savory spice and a cool, saline mineral edge that speaks of its stony soils. The finish is long and graceful, echoing with floral notes, balsamic nuances and a gentle, mouthwatering bitterness typical of top Sangiovese. Built for the long haul, this 2019 will reward patience and should comfortably evolve and gain complexity over the next 15–20 years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit for Giodo Brunello di Montalcino 2019 comes exclusively from La Poderina, a three-hectare amphitheater-shaped vineyard nestled deep in the woods of Montalcino, with a steep slope facing toward the distant Monte Amiata. The white, highly stony soils limit vigor and naturally concentrate the Sangiovese Grosso grapes, while the forested surroundings create a cooler microclimate that preserves aromatic freshness. Vines, around 19 years old, are meticulously tended and yields kept very low. Harvest is carried out entirely by hand, with strict selection in the vineyard and at the winery. Fermentation typically takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, allowing for gentle extraction of color and tannin, followed by an extended maturation in large neutral oak (and carefully chosen barrels) in line with Brunello regulations, for a total aging of several years before release to ensure harmony and polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis refined Brunello shines alongside classic Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, slow-braised beef or lamb, wild boar ragù, and porcini mushroom dishes. It also pairs beautifully with aged pecorino, truffle-infused preparations, and game birds roasted with herbs. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) in large Burgundy or Bordeaux stems to allow the aromas to unfurl. Young bottles will benefit from 1–2 hours in a decanter, while older vintages should be decanted gently just before serving to separate any sediment and preserve delicate aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiodo is the personal wine project of Carlo Ferrini, one of Italy’s most celebrated consulting enologists, whose work has shaped many of Tuscany’s top estates. Founded in the early 2000s with the first Brunello vintage released in 2009, Giodo quickly gained a reputation for precision, elegance and a modern yet terroir-driven expression of Montalcino. Working on a small scale, Ferrini focuses on meticulous vineyard care and sensitive, low-intervention winemaking to let Sangiovese speak clearly of its origin. Today, Giodo is regarded as one of the rising stars of Brunello di Montalcino, with key vintages like 2010, 2016 and now 2019 often mentioned among the finest wines of the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giodo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54253008814417,"sku":"PS-8006056706248","price":137.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/GiodoBrunellodiMontalcino2019_8e01a876-c78e-4e9c-9025-d63a74dbc5ae.png?v=1783448613","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/giodo-brunello-di-montalcino-2019-75-cl","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
