The Podere Giodo 2017 Alberelli di Giodo Nerello Mascalese is a stunning high-altitude Sicilian red crafted by legendary Italian winemaker Carlo Ferrini, whose work on Mount Etna has become a defining expression of elegance, purity, and terroir.

Sourced from ungrafted vines 80–100 years old, planted at an extraordinary 950 meters above sea level on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, this wine represents one of the most compelling interpretations of Nerello Mascalese in Italy today.

Ferrini describes Etna wines with one word: “elegance.” This philosophy is evident throughout—this is a wine of precision, lift, and mineral-driven energy, often compared stylistically to a cross between Burgundy Pinot Noir and Barolo Nebbiolo.

In the glass, the wine bursts with black and red cherry, rose petals, and spice, layered with notes of crushed stone, smoke, and volcanic minerality. The palate is vibrant and lifted, showing silky tannins, bright acidity, and remarkable freshness, all wrapped around a core of juicy plum and cherry fruit. Despite its concentration, the wine remains weightless and refined, finishing long with a signature mineral tension.

This is a benchmark Etna-style wine—elegant, expressive, and deeply connected to its volcanic terroir.

Critical Acclaim

  • 95 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
    “An extremely elegant and expressive interpretation of Nerello Mascalese… supported by an extremely fine and silky texture… impeccably clean and pure… with a drying mineral note that recalls its volcanic roots.”

Tasting Notes

Color: Bright ruby red
Aromas: Red cherry, black cherry, rose petals, spice, smoke

Vineyard & Terroir

  • Region: Sicily, Italy (Mount Etna slopes)
  • Altitude: 950 meters

This extreme altitude and volcanic soil composition deliver:

👉 Aromatic complexity and lift

Winemaking

  • Low yields for concentration
  • Focus on purity and transparency of terroir
  • Small production (~7,200 bottles)

Vintage Notes (2017 Sicily)

The 2017 vintage was warm and concentrated, yet at high elevations:

  • Retained freshness and balance
  • Delivered ripe fruit with lifted acidity
  • Produced wines with both power and elegance

Cellaring & Drinking Window

  • Drink Now: Yes (with decanting)
  • Peak Window: 2024–2038
  • Aging Potential: 15+ years

Food Pairing

Perfect with:

  • Roasted lamb
  • Grilled meats
  • Mushroom dishes
  • Duck
  • Aged cheeses

Why This Wine Stands Out

  • Crafted by Carlo Ferrini, one of Italy’s top winemakers
  • From old-vine, high-altitude Etna vineyards
  • 95-point critically acclaimed wine
  • Combines Burgundian elegance with Italian structure
  • Limited production (high scarcity)
