Giodo - La Quinta - Toscana IGT 2023
Alberelli di Giodo – Etna Meets Tuscan Tradition
The story of Giodo in Montalcino begins in 2002, when Carlo Ferrini, a renowned Italian oenologist, acquired a hectare in the prestigious Brunello di Montalcino appellation. This acquisition marked the start of an exciting journey and challenge, fulfilling a long-held passion. The name "Giodo" honors his parents, Giovanna and Donatello.
Today, the Giodo estate covers 5.5 hectares between Sant’Angelo in Colle and Sant’Antimo. Carlo Ferrini planted clones of Sangiovese that he found the most promising. The heart of the vineyard (2.5 ha) is dedicated to Brunello di Montalcino, while newer plots produce "La Quinta," a Toscana IGT (3 ha).
La Quinta ages for 12 months in 700-liter oak barrels, as well as in 2,500-liter oak casks and 2,700-liter "cocciopesto" amphorae.
The two Giodo labels feature a human icon and a circle, symbolizing "Sangiovese" and the world of wine, respectively. On the Brunello label, the figure is within the circle, representing the exclusive use of Sangiovese in crafting this wine.
