GIODO Nerello Mascalese “Alberelli di GIODO" 2021

James Suckling

Aromas of plum, iron and pumice with some flowers. It’s medium-bodied with powdered, fine tannins. It’s layered and elegant yet so structured. Very long and focused. Wild finish with a lava-like undertone to it all. Just above the contrada of Rapante.

Houlberg

Duften er lidt tør og støvet ... der er sure og søde kirsebær, nogle kirsebærsten, blommer og ribs. Den er i starten en smule nærig og lukket, men åbner stille og roligt op med violer, roser, tørv, kul, læder, tjære, tobak, jernbanesveller og rå champignon. Smagsmæssigt er det en helt anden historie, for smagen er meget meget lys, ren og syrlig. Det er en frisk, levende og syrlig frugt med bitter grape, ribs, hindbær, umodne kirsebær og tranebær. Dermed bliver det på ingen måder fed syditaliensk vin. Tværtimod, for syren er næsten stoppet med citroner og grape, hvilket giver dette ren og stramme udtryk, hvor du endda kan tilsætte lidt sten, mineraler samt ren aske. Tanninerne er samtidig vildt tørre, så det giver en fabelagtig spændstig og samtidig harmonisk vin. 96 point. Forhandles af Supervin, hvor prisen er 749,95 kr., mens du ved køb af 6 flasker kan købe vinen til 669,95 kr.

Release Price: $90 | Closed with a red wax capsule, the Alberelli di Giodo 2021 Nerello Mascalese does a great job of transmitting energy, finesse and elegance. This is an exceptional expression of Etna's protagonist grape. It effortlessly shows small berry aromas of cassis and wild berry along with some dried herb, mountain flower, orange peel and crushed stone. Carlo Ferrini has hit this nail squarely on the head.

Decanter

Potpourri dried flowers, cracked peppercorns, garrigue herbs and caramelised, spiced nuts on the nose. Warm and filling, the tannins are pronounced with a crushed stone, iron-laced tang that coats the entire mouth. This has strength but it's not heavy, with a juicy core that lifts the palate and acidity to keep things fresh and forward. This builds in layers adding in more spice, sun-kissed black and red fruit with mineral touches throughout, building to a long and sustained finish. Feels like the alcohol stands out a touch but this would work well with food. From a two-hectare vineyard planted on volcanic soils at 950 metres above sea level. 5.9g total acidity. 7,000 bottles produced. WInemaker Carlo Ferrini.

The Wine Independent

The single-varietal 2021 Nerello Mascalese is pale garnet-purple in color. It springs forth with notes of fresh redcurrants and raspberries, leading to hints of graphite, lavender, and sauteed herbs. The medium to full-bodied palate offers chewy tannins and a racy backbone to support the vibrant red berry and herbal flavors, finishing with a pleasant grippiness…

Carlo Ferrini's 2020 Sicilia Nerello Mascalese opens to a beautiful ruby hue and an elegantly lean appearance. The wine delivers tart cherry fruit, cassis, blue flower, iron ore and orange peel. These various layers come together with balanced intensity. This vintage shows enormous elegance and tannins that melt onto the palate slowly and with lasting flavors. This bottle offers a very genuine and classic expression from the Sicilian volcano.

Intriguing and complex, it alternates notes of geraniums, linden, red plums, chamomile and passion fruit. There's more to the citrus vibrancy in the background. Full body, perfectly ripe and well-polished tannins and a finish of persuasive beauty. Beautiful now will be better from 2023.
