Obs -  GIODO Brunello i eksklusiv Magnum-flaske!

5 x 100 points i den forgange årgang… Nu bedst bedømte Brunello hos både Intravino og Decanter i den nye årgang 2020! Jep, GIODO har forhåndsreserveret en plads ved det eksklusive Brunello-bord, hvor kun en lille håndfuld kan side med.  

Manden bag GIODO, Carlo Ferrini, er Italiens mest succesfulde winemaker. Han havde allerede adskillige 100-point-vine på CV'et fra sin tid som vinmager hos førende italienske kultproducenter som f.eks. Casanova di Neri, inden han fik råd til at købe sit eget, frimærkestore drømmeterroir, som han gav navnet GIODO. 

Nu vælter det i stedet ind med 100-points anmeldelser over Carlos egen GIODO-Brunello, der især hyldes for den svævende elegance, som han opnår gennem ”hands off” winemaking - dvs. ingen tilsætning af gær samt kort maceration uden overpumpninger. Drømmeterroiret skal være i fokus og derfor praktiserer Carlo en mere diskret fadlagring med ca. 36 mdr. på franske 500 l., 700 l og 2,500 l egetræsfade. Det hele rundes af med 18 måneder på cementtank inden frigivelse.

Det her er kult-Brunello i ordets bedste forstand. En unik vin med et lagringspotentiale til de næste 25 år. Ved køb af 6 fl. leveres i original trækasse.

98/100 DELT #1  HØJEST RATEDE BRUNELLO 2020 – Intravino
“Violet and glacial mint, rosemary and cloudberry, a sip of bright tannic matrix and exquisite fruit, continues for minutes to enchant the palate.“

98/100 GardiniNotes, World Champion Sommelier
“The charismatic Brunello from the impeccable wine project of Carlo Ferrini, a scent that attacks on notes of red plum, splattered with geranium, with hints of taggiasca olive and eucalyptus. The taste has well amalgamated tannins to the fresh-savory component. It closes balsamic, with long aftertaste.

“Carlo Ferrini and his daughter, Bianca completed harvest within the first 10 days of September with the estate’s brand-new vinification facility ready just in time. This is a laudable follow up to Giodo’s charismatic 2019 – and just as gorgeously expressive. A panoply of strawberry, arbutus berry, cardamom and porcini greets the nose. Precise and succulent, the palate is laden with lush apricot. Polished and intricately knit tannins are harmoniously embedded, giving effortless support, and all those captivating aromas and flavours resonate on the lingering finish.”

97/100 James Suckling
“A more elegant than powerful Brunello here. Intensity and depth to this wine, with a fresh profile of strawberries, red cherries and peonies. A cinnamon note adds a touch of grace. The attack is graceful as well, with velvety tannins, medium to full body, persistent and refreshing acidity and a long, very flavorful finish. Elegant sample. Drinkable now, but it will last for decades with ease.”

”Hedonistic and fascinating in its sensorial profile, it shows notes of strawberries, plums, mixed plums, lemon peel, chamomile, ginger, karkadè, marjoram, lime and lemon peel. Medium body, soft tannins and a finish of splendid gracefulness and anthocyanin and polyphenolic quality. Savory, slender and captivating. He shows serenity and composure while subtly showing that he is a top player. Drink now."

96/100 Robert Parker
“From vintner Carlo Ferrini, the Giodo 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a balanced, medium-plus intensity wine that delivers excellent focus and sharpness. You get the generosity and softness of the vintage with Mediterranean tones of lavender and rosemary that frame a pretty core of cherry and blackcurrant. You also get a savory note of something that reminds me of fragrant tea leaf. The tannins are expertly managed, and the wine's texture builds steadily in the mouth. It shows superb phenolic ripeness with no sharp edges. The finish is fleshed out, contemporary and generous. Production is 16,000 bottles.”

”In the end the one to win the highest recognition and take home a perfect score was Giodo, a union of balance, class, elegance and quality of material… Expressive and rich in character, it shows concentration and structure in the notes of red plums, wild strawberries, cedar chunks, mandarin juice, lemon peel, chopped ginger and cracked celery. Wild thyme and marjoram set the secondary scene, but it is the character of fresh cherries, rose petals and grapefruit that delicately but presently bring grace and authenticity to the array. Medium-full body, perfectly ripe tannins of commendable beauty and an honest, subtle, enveloping finish. Exciting on the palate, you want to drink it, drink it and drink it again. Elegance and more elegance, in a wine that achieves perfection. A perfect wine, a divine wine.”

100/100 GardiniNotes, World Champion Sommelier
”Taut and clean on the nose, with fine armas of red plum, touches of peony, brackish nuances, and hints of black olive, with balsamic and officinal herbs finish. The taste is rich and elegant, with tannins well blended with the freshsavory component. Closure is slightly citrus, a great personality.”

100/100 Intravino
”Violet, Moroccan rose, bergamot, sour cherries and pits, lavender, thyme and curry plant,  turmeric and mandarin, palate of silky precision and magnificent progression, stupendous, silky and dynamic, electric, creamy, disarmingly drinkable, precise and dense tannin but which it never distracts from enjoyment. 100 points.”

"Bright, elegant ruby purple. Expressive, inviting on the nose, with rich fruit, deep cherry, blood orange, a hint of ripe raspberry, very complex and inviting, high elegance, rosehip, blood orange, Burgundian. Juicy on the palate, polished, with clear fruit, harmonious, comes in many layers, enormous elegance and finesse, juicy and with excellent drinking flow."

99/100 “TOP 100 WINES OF THE WORLD” James Suckling
“Aromas of cedar, earth, tree bark, fruit tea, black tea and cherries. Then it turns to fresh and dried flowers. Medium to full body as it grows on the palate with superb fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It’s structured and powerful with great length. The acid, tannin balance is incredible. Very clear and transparent. What a wine.”

98+/100 Robert Parker
"When I tasted this wine with its maker, the celebrated enologist Carlo Ferrini, he told me that he put every last drop of love into the 2019 vintage. He believes it is the best wine he has made thus far at his relatively new Giodo project that started in 2009. Indeed, I would rank the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino as high as or even better than the best vintages made at this boutique estate. In my mind, they are 2010, 2016 and now 2019. This wine comes from a three-hectare plot with 19-year-old vines that are cared for obsessively. This amphitheater-shaped parcel called La Poderina is nestled deep within the forest on a steep slope that overlooks Monte Amiata in the distance. The soils are white in color with lots of rocks. This is a wine of depth and dimension, with vibrant energy, elegant balsamic notes and sweetly ripened fruit. The medium fruit weight is balanced against the wine's acidity and fine tannins. It ends with floral notes of violet and iris."

Om GIODO

”Dette er min drøm.”, fortæller Carlo Ferrini om sit GIODO-projekt. Efter en forrygende karriere som konsulent bag adskillige 100-point vine købte Carlo Ferrini i 2002 sin egen mikroskopiske vinmark. På disse 2,8 hektar (som med tiden er øget til 6) plantede han 15 forskellige Sangiovese-kloner og døbte hele herligheden GIODO - som hyldest til forældrene GIOvanna og DOnatello. Fra dette magiske terroir har Ferrini, med ubarmhjertig drueselektion som katalysator, frembragt vine i absolut verdensklasse siden 2009. En streng ”grøn høst” eliminerer ca. 40% af alle druer, så resten kan modne til perfektion. Toscana IGT er fremstillet i blid og frugtcharmerende stil med kortvarig skindkontakt samt 12 måneders modning på 500 og 1200 liters egetræsfade. Brunello’en - der flere gange har høstet 100 point - er en langt mere ekstraktrig vin grundet længere skindkontakt og hele 2 1/2 års fadlagring på 500 og 700 liter fransk tonneaux. I 2016 indtog GIODO vulkanen Etnas vulkanske skråninger med et mineralsk festfyrværkeri af en Nerello Mascalese. ”ÅRETS BEDSTE DEBUTVIN” i hele Italien – og Siciliens svar på rød Grand Cru Bourgogne…
