Alberelli di Giodo Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2018 is the second iconic wine of Carlo Ferrini, of Podere Giodo. Does that name ring any bells? Yep, he is the guy who makes one of the greatest and strictly limited production Brunellos. After Tuscany he landed on Mount Etna and the inconceivable ratings (Decanter 96pts, James Suckling 95pts, Robert Parker 94pts) testify that he is just as good as with Nerello Mascalese.
The super-talented Carlo Ferrini creates in Montalcino some of the most amazing wines in the region and every year they receive sublime reviews. Carlo has been visiting Sicily for the last 15 years and so a new love was born. Carlo loved Etna and her particular terroir and fell madly in love with Nerello Mascalese. Thus, was created the Alberelli di Giodo Sicilia Nerello Mascalese. The grapes come from a vineyard at an altitude of 950 meters, from old vines, aged 80-100 years old, with a traditional cup-shaped training system, called albarello (hence the name of the wine). The wine fermented in concrete tanks and then it was transferred to oak barrels of 500 and 700 liters, where it matured for 12 months. After this period the wine continues its maturation in concrete tanks. The result has pure red fruit, intense minerality and a discreet floral character.
