The most talented winemakers are usually the most humble; they attribute the bulk of their success to the land that produces their fruit. Such is the case with renowned Sangiovese aficionado Carlo Ferrini. Consulting winemaker to many of Tuscany's finest estates for over 30 years as well as proprietor of Podere Giodo, Carlo's guiding principle is that great wines are made in the vineyards. While we heartily agree on the importance of terroir, we must also acknowledge Ferrini's breadth of knowledge, hard work, and ability to coax the very, very best from his raw materials. We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Giodo's first ever Rosso di Montalcino made with Carlo's über talented daughter, Bianca; we are thrilled that it has finally arrived stateside!

The 2024 Podere Giodo Rosso di Montalcino has aromas and flavors of ripe red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries layered with hints of violets, blood oranges, cinnamon, sweet spices, and subtle, smoky undertones. The palate is medium-bodied, smooth, and juicy, with bright, refreshing acidity and well-integrated tannins. Red fruits and spicy notes linger on the finish.

"The first vintage ever of Rosso for the Giodo estate. A super-fresh, vibrant, and fragrant wine with strawberries, red currants, violets, blood oranges, and cinnamon on the nose. Medium-bodied, it shows freshness, soft and silky tannins, and a smoky, savory finish."

93+ points, Jeb Dunnuck:
"Produced for the first time, the 2024 Rosso Di Montalcino pours a bright ruby red hue and is expressive and pure on the nose, with youthful notes of raspberry liqueur, lavender, wildflowers, fresh leather, and sweet Mediterranean herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, with lush purity, ripe tannins, and a touch of warmth on the finish that stays well balanced. It has the identity and precision you expect from Giodo and is already exceptional, promising to offer a lot of pleasure over the next decade."
