Kirjeldus

Carlo Ferrini on kindlasti Toskaana ja kogu Itaalia üks parimaid veinimeistreid, kuid keegi pole kuulnud tema üliväikesest Podere Giodo nimelisest veinimajast, mis on Montalcino üks paremini hoitud saladusi. Carlo on seda ettevõtmist ka meelega vaka all hoidnud, sest ta ei soovi ‘konkureerida’ oma tähtsate Toskaana klientidega.

Veiniajakiri Wine Enthusiast on ta kahel korral valinud “Winemaker of the Year” tiili vääriliseks. Sama tunnustuse on ta saanud ka Itaalia parimate veiniteatmike käest – Gambero Rosso ja AIS (Associazione Italiana Sommelier).

2002. aastal leidis Carlo imeilusa 10 hektari suuruse tammemetsaga kaetud maatüki 200 inimesega San’t Angelo in Colle külas Montalcinos. Ta nägi selle aia asukohas ja pinnases väga suurt potentsiaali ning istutas 2.8 hektarile 15 eri klooni Sangiovese veinipuid. Veinimaja nimeks sai Giodo, mis on tuletatud Carlo vanemate nimedest GIOvanna ja DOnatello ning esimene aastakäik oli 2009.

Giodo on tõeline butiik veinimaja, Carlol on ainult üks täistööajaga (veiniaia)töötaja. Augustis tehakse green harvest, mille käigus lõigatakse maha 40% kobaratest. Septembris teeb Carlo esmase sorteerimise veiniaias – need marjad lähevad Brunellosse. Nädal hiljem toimub veiniaias teine valik ja nendest marjadest tehakse Rosso di Montalcino.

Kogu töö veiniaias ja keldris on orgaaniline. Veinivalmistamine on väga rahulik – lühike leotusaeg, kääritamine algab ise naturaalse pärmi abil ning ülepumpamist (pump-over) ei rakendata. “I dont like extraction, I like elegance, elegance, elegance”. Seda kõike on näha ja tunda tema veinides, mis esialgu võivad isegi natuke meenutada burgundlasi. Brunello on laagerdunud 24 kuud kasutatud 500 liitristes tammevaatides.

A full-bodied Brunello with lots of plums and cherries, as well as orange-peel character. It’s creamy and round-textured. Soft and chewy tannins. Shows the warmth and ripeness of the 2017 vintage.” James Suckling 96

Carlo Ferrini’s Giodo 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is plush and softly layered, and the wine has plenty of fiber and cherry to absorb the power that comes naturally to this vintage. This is Carlo’s seventh leaf (or vintage) of
Brunello from his family-run estate, and it’s nice to reflect on the consistency of style and quality achieved since this new venture emerged. Giodo has the advantage of coming onto the scene when international regard and
understanding for Brunello was highest (think back to the excellent 2010 vintage). Carlo has not disappointed. He brings us a modern, forward-thinking wine that is rooted in local Tuscan winemaking tradition (just think, one of his first stints was at Soldera Case Basse years ago). This vintage brings home that signature Giodo personality with black cherry, dark fruit and elegant earthy end notes. At about 18-years-old now, his vines are entering an
interesting chapter of their lifespan, and we can expect more great results from this estate. Production for this wine is 12,000 bottles.” Wine Advocate 95 points

This has a distinctive and aromatic nose with herbal aromas alongside red cherries and black bramble fruit. The palate is so juicy with such life and an almost sweet touch to the acidity. It tastes youthful and brimming with fervent energy – alive in the best possible way. Tannins are well integrated and the texture overall is smooth and refined. 30 months in 25hl and 40hl traditional Slavonian oak casks, followed by 18 months ageing in bottle.” Decanter 95 points
