I Sodi di San Niccolò is produced in the vineyards of Castellare di Castellina, in the heart of Chianti Classico, from a careful selection of Sangioveto and Malvasia Nera grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand, with careful selection of the bunches to achieve maximum concentration and complexity. After fermentation, the wine undergoes extended ageing in oak, allowing it to develop and integrate its aromas while enhancing its structure and elegance. The result is a great Tuscan red, an authentic expression of the territory and its remarkable winemaking vocation.
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red colour with deep garnet hues that become more pronounced with age. The nose is broad, elegant and complex, offering aromas of ripe cherry, red berries and violet, accompanied by refined spicy, balsamic and tobacco notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, structured and enveloping, supported by fine, well-integrated tannins and a pleasant freshness. The finish is long and persistent, with a delicate savoury character.
An important wine, perfect for special occasions and rich, convivial meals. It pairs beautifully with classic Tuscan dishes, roasts, game, grilled red meat and aged cheeses.
To fully appreciate its elegance and complexity, it is best served at 18°C.
