This wine was tasted in a preview capacity as it won't hit the market until the beginning of next year. Tasted at the Giodo winery in one of the most remote and beautiful spots in the appellation surrounded by forests and wide open panoramas, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino gives us a promising taste of what we can expect from this warm vintage. The wine delivers ripe, but delicate aromas of cassis and dark cherry with shades of lilac, violet and crushed limestone. The tannins are present and well managed. Carlo Ferrini's Brunello promises a long aging trajectory.

Black-cherry, violet, lavender and orange-peel aromas follow through to a medium to full body with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Such focus and brightness. Agile and weightless at the end. Not the biggest Giodo, but pretty and precise. Drinkable now, but wait for two or three years. Try after 2024.

Farmyard notes on the nose, caramel, wood, cedar and toast. Lively sweet strawberries and red berry fruit on the palate, touches of sharpness, bitterness and a creamy sensation from the tannins. I like the soft salinity - wet stone and salt that dot the palate and the sweetness with acidity keeps things so lifted and joyful. Not hugely complex, but a supremely elegant expression, gentle, balanced and complete. Ageing for approximately 30 months in 500, 700 and 2,500-litre oak casks, followed by additional time in concrete vats and 18 months in bottle.
