Introduction
The 2022 Podere Giodo "La Quinta" Rosso Toscano IGT is a refined and vibrant red from Tuscany, crafted by renowned winemaker Carlo Ferrini. Known for his expertise with Sangiovese, Ferrini has created a wine that captures the elegance and depth of Tuscany’s terroir, offering a modern expression of Italian winemaking that remains true to tradition.

Terrior
Located in the heart of Tuscany, Podere Giodo benefits from a unique combination of marl and clay soils, which provide ideal conditions for cultivating Sangiovese. The Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, promotes optimal ripening, while the vineyard's elevation adds freshness and finesse to the grapes, preserving their natural acidity and aromatic complexity.

Appearance
Brilliant ruby red with a hint of purple at the rim. The wine is clear and shows medium viscosity, indicating a balance between concentration and freshness.

Nose
Elegant and fragrant, the nose opens with aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, and wild strawberry, supported by subtle notes of violet, cedar, and a touch of Tuscan herbs. Hints of spice—such as clove and anise—add complexity, while underlying mineral notes hint at the region’s soil.

Palate
Medium-bodied with lively acidity, the palate presents juicy red fruit flavors of cherry and raspberry, complemented by soft tannins that add structure without overwhelming. The herbal and floral notes continue from the nose, with a delicate hint of spice and a touch of earthiness that grounds the wine. Balanced and precise, with a refreshing, food-friendly profile.

Finish
Long and refreshing, with a lingering note of red fruit and a touch of minerality. The finish showcases fine-grained tannins and a pleasing acidity that leaves the palate clean and ready for another sip.

Overall Impression
The 2022 Podere Giodo "La Quinta" is a beautifully balanced and versatile Tuscan red that combines freshness with depth. This is a wine that invites pairing with Italian dishes, from pasta with tomato-based sauces to roasted meats, and is equally enjoyable on its own for its pure expression of Sangiovese.
