Giodo Alberelli di Giodo Rosso 2020 (750ML)

96+ WA / 94 JS / 94 JA

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. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

A medium-bodied, very tight and precise red with focused, firm tannins framing sleek layers of cranberries, blackberries, stones, slate and tobacco. Hints of dried fruit. too. Mineral and stony. Old-vine character here, with lots of bark and spice at the end. Lightly austere. Try this from 2024. - James Suckling

Love this wine, packed with soured cherry, freshly cut herbs, sage spices, gunsmoke reduction and overall just mouthwateringly moreish. Barely-there jewel-ruby in colour, yet the concentration on the palate is striking, performing the brilliant trick that only certain grape varieties can manage. Located on Etna, but bottles under Sicilia Rosso (the same family has an estate over in Montalcino but bottles under Tuscany, clearly likes to have as few rules as possible...). Third vintage on the Place, with a tiny production. A value pick. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
