I Sodi di San Niccolò 2021 IGT Toscana: Supertuscan from Castellare di Castellina

I Sodi di San Niccolò 2021 is the flagship wine of Castellare di Castellina, a IGT Toscana with great personality that authoritatively tells the best of the Chianti Classico territory.

Territory and wine style

The winery is located in Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany, in a landscape of well-exposed hills and soils composed of limestone marls, galestro, and little clay. This context favors intense, well-structured wines with balance. I Sodi di San Niccolò 2021 interprets this origin with the character of a great Tuscan red: deep, harmonious, and built to offer complexity, substance, and finesse, with a clear vocation for aging in the bottle.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep garnet color. The bouquet is articulated and recognizable, with hints of violet, mulberry, rhubarb, juniper, and toasted almond, enriched by balsamic nuances of mint and marjoram. On the palate, it shows breadth, continuity, and an important but well-integrated tannic texture. Freshness supports the sip and contributes to the overall balance, while the finish is long, harmonious, and rich in nuances. It is a wine with a strong character, yet capable of maintaining elegance and precision.

Recommended pairings

I Sodi di San Niccolò 2021 pairs well with flavorful and structured dishes from the Tuscan tradition, such as stuffed pigeon, Tuscan crostini, game, red meats, stews, and braises. It also expresses itself very well with aged cheeses and preparations rich in succulence, where the wine can enhance the complexity of the dish without losing definition.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate its complexity, I Sodi di San Niccolò 2021 should be served at a temperature of 16-18 °C. In its youth, it can benefit from a few minutes of aeration in a decanter or glass, to best open up the aromatic profile and soften the initial impact.
