Podere Giodo

This is the personal endeavor of Carlo Ferrini, arguably the most famous Italian enologist today. He has spent the last 30 years establishing his reputation as one of the greatest winemakers / consultants in Italy, and for that matter the world. After graduation from the University of Florence Faculty of Agrarian Science, he began working for the Chianti Classico Consorzio, working up to the position of Technical Director in 1986.  In 1992 he left the Consorzio and began a career as a freelance consultant and enogolist. He is the man behind many famous Italian wines, including the 100 point Casanova di Neri 2006 Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino, MAZZEI, Petrolo, Talenti, Tenuta Monteti, and others. According to the regulations of the Consorzio for Brunello di Montalcino, Podere Giodo is only allowed to bottle 250 cases of Brunello di Montalcino; anything else over and above has to be declassified and bottled as Toscana Rosso IGT. Giodo’s first vintage was 2009, and the 2010 vintage was awarded with 100 points by James Suckling and 98 points by Robert Parker. In 2000, Gambero Rosso named him “Enologist of the Year”.  In 2003, The Associazione Italiana Sommelier also named him “Enologist of the Year”, and in 2008, Carlo was named “Winemaker of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
