Giodo La Quinta 2021

Giodo La Quinta 2021 is a vibrant Tuscan red that showcases the finesse and purity of Sangiovese from the estate’s younger vines. Crafted in limited quantities, it offers a luminous, fruit-forward profile that feels both modern and deeply rooted in regional tradition. This cuvée serves as Giodo’s most immediate and approachable expression of Sangiovese, capturing the energy of its youth without sacrificing elegance.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, La Quinta 2021 shows a brilliant, medium ruby hue with youthful highlights along the rim. The nose is inviting and expressive, unfolding with notes of cherry confit and raspberry syrup alongside vivid citrus tones of blood orange and ripe nectarine. Subtle floral hints and a touch of spice add complexity without ever weighing the wine down. On the palate, the wine is bright, supple, and wonderfully drinkable, with open red fruit at the core and a refreshing, almost ‘transparent’ personality. Juicy cherry and tangy red berry flavors are lifted by crisp acidity, while fine, polished tannins give just enough structure to keep everything in balance. The finish is lean, clean, and refreshingly fresh, making this an especially charming Sangiovese in its youth. Enjoy it over the next 3–6 years for its vivid fruit and lively character.

Production
La Quinta is sourced from Giodo’s younger Sangiovese vines in Tuscany, where the combination of sun-drenched slopes, well-drained soils, and cooling breezes helps preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. Grapes are carefully harvested by hand to ensure optimal ripeness and quality, with strict sorting in the vineyard and at the cellar door. Vinification focuses on a gentle extraction to highlight fruit purity rather than power, typically involving temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel or cement and a measured period of aging that refines texture while maintaining the wine’s bright, youthful profile. The 2021 vintage was bottled in a limited production of around 13,000 bottles.

Food & Serving
Giodo La Quinta 2021 is a versatile food wine that shines alongside classic Tuscan-inspired dishes such as tomato-based pastas, grilled sausages, wood-fired pizza, and roasted chicken with herbs. Its fresh acidity and red fruit intensity also make it an excellent match for charcuterie, mild to medium cheeses, and simple dishes featuring tomatoes, olives, or grilled vegetables. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) in a medium-sized red wine glass. A brief 20–30 minutes in a decanter can help open the aromatics, but extended decanting is not necessary given the wine’s already accessible and open-knit style.

Producer
Giodo is the personal Tuscan project of renowned Italian winemaker Carlo Ferrini, one of the most respected consultants in Italy and a key figure in shaping modern Tuscan wine. Established with a clear focus on Sangiovese, the estate has quickly earned a reputation for producing refined, terroir-driven wines that balance tradition with contemporary precision. While Giodo is best known for its acclaimed Brunello di Montalcino, La Quinta represents its more youthful, immediate expression of Sangiovese, helping cement the winery’s status as a benchmark producer in Tuscany and a reference point for elegant, pure-fruited Tuscan reds.
