2021 Brunello di Montalcino Prètto
(Brunello di Montalcino; 100% Sangiovese; pH 3.45; sourced from 4 hectares in Sant’Angelo in Colle, south-west Montalcino, at 360 metres planted on a medium-heavy, skeleton-rich soil, with a south-eastern exposition; 14% alcohol; tasted twice, the second time at Vinexpo with Bianca Ferrini). The product, in effect, of an even stricter selection for the Giodo Brunello. ‘Prètto’ is a Tuscan dialect word for word for true, sincere or authentic – and that is exactly what we find in the glass. This is fuller, more viscous and altogether bloodier than the Rosso with a touch of ferrous minerality. But, as with all of the Giodo range (on Etna and in Montalcino) this is radiant, gracious, succulent yet delicate. We have the vivid sensation of spring flowers and a little note of fennel bulb alongside the red berry and stone fruits. Vivid and fresh but with much more depth and gravitas than the Rosso, yet absolutely no loss of clarity or precision. There’ a pleasing salinity to the minerality and, combined with the sapidity, that gives the impression that the saltiness arrives like little beads of sweet that descend into the glossy interior of this more glassily-textured of wines. A fabulous new addition that it already highly accessible.
