Place & Vines
  • La Quinta comes from the fifth vineyard planted by Carlo Ferrini at Giodo.
  • The reference vineyard lies at approximately 400 metres with south-east exposure.
  • Medium-textured soil with abundant stone content encourages drainage and freshness.
  • The Sangiovese is trained to spurred cordon and farmed with meticulous, quality-focused selection.
Vinification
  • Grapes are harvested by hand and gravity-fed into stainless-steel tanks.
  • Fermentation emphasizes clean fruit expression and a refined Sangiovese profile.
  • Cocciopesto amphorae preserve crisp, luscious wild-red-berry aromatics while avoiding overt wood influence.
Aging Style

Twelve months of maturation, divided equally between 2,500- and 3,500-litre oak casks and cocciopesto amphorae, followed by at least six months in bottle. Large oak shapes the wine while amphorae retain lift and immediacy.

Style & Structure

A refined, red-berry-driven interpretation of Sangiovese that shares Giodo Brunello's commitment to terroir and elegance. Its mixed-vessel élevage favors aromatic clarity, freshness and a more immediate expression of the estate.

Key Factors
  • Pure Sangiovese from a distinct estate vineyard in Montalcino.
  • Large oak provides shape without dominating the fruit.
  • Cocciopesto amphorae preserve bright red-fruit fragrance and textural energy.
