Le Gode - Rosso di Montalcino, Italy (2021)

TASTING NOTES

An overly used term, but this really is a baby Brunello. Red cherry jam, raspberry syrup and mocha. The palate is rich and slightly creamy, with a mineral bite and refined acidity.

A bare-bones, under the radar, tiny azienda. Intervention in the vineyard is very limited and winery work is conducted according to biological practices.

 Fermented in steel and aged for 3-6 months in large Slavonian oak.

A truly prized Cru, with an elevation of over 300 m above sea level, subsoil made up of silty clays and marls, with intrusions of limestone, marly limestone, calcarenites and gravel. Characterised by softness and elegance, this is highly aromatic and very age-worthy.
