Galodoro Reserva 10 Barricas Boxed Wine (225cl) 2021 vs Le Gode, Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Le Gode, Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Le Gode produces quintessential Brunello on a small scale in the north on Montosoli hill, which is known for its high altitude and silt clay and marl soil dotted with limestone and gravel. The production from this area is synonymous with sumptuously smooth and elegant wines, delicate minerality, longevity and striking aromatics. Though no official classification system is in place, Montosoli is regarded a Grand Cru area of Montalcino. Le Gode’s minimal intervention methodology contributes to the pure expression of Sangiovese from this iconic terroir and delivers a resulting freshness that lends structure and finesse. Their Brunello di Montalcinos are aged in Slavonian oak for three years and then six months in French oak before spending up to 8 months in bottle. The Ripaccioli family of Le Gode recommends a glass of this before any important decision, a recommendation we take very seriously!
