Castellare I Sodi S. Niccolo 2017
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red color and with a great olfactory concentra- tion, thanks to the presence of a ripe red fruit that leads to notes of jam, spices, vanilla and licorice. In the mouth the wine is characterized by a dense and elegant texture, also supported by the important acidity of the Sangiovese, the tannins are absolutely sweet and the finish is long and of great persistence.
Wine Spectator – 96 Points
Toasty oak gives way to bright cherry, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors in this sleek, vibrant red, with wild herb, tobacco and mineral notes adding complexity. Supple, yet there’s a firm matrix of refined tannins and the finish is defined by lively acidity and finesse. Sangioveto and Malvasia Nera. Best from 2024 through 2045.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with cold cuts and meat rich in flavor, cheeses with a strong and aromatic taste, in particular, Pecorino Toscano and Parmigiano.
