The first look at Giodo's 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a showstopper and one of the highlights of the vintage. It pours a jeweled ruby color and is ripe and giving on the nose, with ripe, pure aromas of preserved raspberries, fresh herbs, sweet mossy earth, and a pristine floral profile. Medium-bodied, it fills and expands through the palate, with ripe tannins, broad shoulders, and a clean, mineral finish with a darker profile. It's going to improve as it leans into its more tertiary notes of black truffle and tea leaf and gets darker on the finish. This may be a wine that competes with 2019 for complexity and depth, and it will be worth cellaring to find out. (AF)

A more elegant than powerful Brunello here. Intensity and depth to this wine, with a fresh profile of strawberries, red cherries and peonies. A cinnamon note adds a touch of grace. The attack is graceful as well, with velvety tannins, medium to full body, persistent and refreshing acidity and a long, very flavorful finish. Elegant sample. Drinkable now, but it will last for decades with ease.

Giodo's 2020 Brunello is pure class. Silky and fresh, it's a lifted and aromatic expression which combines sapid, succulent cherries and a touch of wild scrub with an energetic streak of salinity. Long and fresh, it's just so refined and balanced. Gorgeous. (JB)

From vintner Carlo Ferrini, the Giodo 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a balanced, medium-plus intensity wine that delivers excellent focus and sharpness. You get the generosity and softness of the vintage with Mediterranean tones of lavender and rosemary that frame a pretty core of cherry and blackcurrant. You also get a savory note of something that reminds me of fragrant tea leaf. The tannins are expertly managed, and the wine's texture builds steadily in the mouth. It shows superb phenolic ripeness with no sharp edges. The finish is fleshed out, contemporary and generous. (ML)

Notes

Giodo’s Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a refined and deeply expressive Sangiovese, showcasing elegance, purity, and balance. The nose is captivating, with layers of ripe red cherry, wild berries, and dried rose, intertwined with notes of sweet spice, tobacco, and crushed herbs. The palate is polished yet structured, offering juicy red fruit, earthy minerality, and fine-grained tannins, all lifted by bright acidity. A long, graceful finish lingers with hints of cedar, balsamic, and subtle floral undertones.
