Castellare I Sodi di S. Niccolò 2019
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
I Sodi di San Niccolò was created in the early 1980s to demonstrate that native grapes could
produce a wine with all the power and grace of a Super Tuscan. The name "I Sodi" refers to
land that is difficult to till (the grapes must be hand-harvested), and "San Niccolò" is an
abandoned church on the Castellare property. This wine captures both the rich history of the
vineyard as well as the Sangioveto grape's enormous potential.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Full-bodied, with firm yet fine-grained tannins, I Sodi di San Niccolò is a rich and elegant wine
that offers aromas of ripe cherries, dark berries, and currants which are complemented by
notes of vanilla, leather, and cedar. On the palate, this wine is full and rich with high aging
potential.
F O O D P A I R I N G
Pair this wine with braised veal, demi-glaces, roasted suckling pig, and Boeuf Bourguignon.
