I Sodi di S. Niccolò 2022 - 2021
€95.00
VAT included
The Sodi of S. Niccolò is the Grand Cru of Castellare di Castellina, among the first historic Supertuscan made exclusively with native grape varieties: 85% Sangioveto and 15% Malvasia Nera. The origin of the name derives from the word used by Tuscan farmers to describe those lands that had to be worked by hand, being too hard (precisely firm) or too steep to allow the use of oxen. San Niccolò, on the other hand, is the name of the 14th-century church that stands on the property of Castellare. On the label, the iconic little bird, which for over 40 years has been a symbol of the daily commitment to sustainable viticulture. The 2022 vintage celebrates the 45 harvests, a special birthday with an elegant robe, the black-bottom label, worthy of the best occasions.
Tasting notes: intense red with hints of garnet. Deeply sophisticated and showcasing its full pedigree in terms of both the bouquet and palate of the wine. The fruit quality is exceptional and each individual aroma can be distinguished with total clarity, from the cherry to the spices, whose focus and integration are exceptional.
Pairings: pairs well with cold cuts and meat rich in flavour, cheeses with a strong and aromatic taste, in particular, Pecorino Toscano and Parmigiano.
