Description
I Sodi di San Niccolò IGT Toscana Limited Edition 40 Harvests DOUBLE MAGNUM
I Sodi di San Niccolò by Domini Castellare di Castellina is a great Tuscan red wine in double magnum format, designed to celebrate the 40 harvests of the winery. It originates in the heart of Castellina in Chianti and enhances the Sangiovese with a portion of Malvasia Nera, offering an elegant, deep style with strong personality. The significant format emphasizes its character as a collectible and for special occasions.
Territory and wine style
This IGT Toscana wine comes from vineyards located about 430 meters above sea level in the municipality of Castellina in Chianti, on limestone soils that contribute to giving momentum and definition to the taste profile. The harvest takes place in mid-October, in an area that benefits from the cool currents of Valdelsa and good temperature variations, elements useful for preserving the aromatic integrity and balance of the fruit. The stylistic imprint is that of a structured yet refined red, capable of uniting maturity, freshness, and depth.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color. The bouquet is rich and concentrated, with hints of ripe red fruit, jam, spices, vanilla, and licorice. On the palate, I Sodi di San Niccolò shows a dense and elegant texture, supported by a lively acidity typical of Sangiovese. The tannins are sweet and well-integrated, while the finish is long, harmonious, and persistent. The aging in barrique and bottle adds complexity without overpowering the character of the wine.
Recommended pairings
It pairs well with rich and flavorful dishes from the Tuscan tradition, such as braised meats, game, important roasts, Florentine steak, and pappardelle with meat ragù. It is also ideal with aged cheeses and structured preparations based on mushrooms or truffles. Its freshness and tannic structure make it suitable for intense main courses, while the aromatic component enhances slow and flavorful cooking.
Serving temperature
Serve I Sodi di San Niccolò at a temperature between 16 and 18 °C. In a double magnum format, it can benefit from an early opening, so as to best express its aromatic profile and tasting complexity. If the wine is young or just uncorked, a brief aeration can be useful to favor the balance between fruit, spices, and structure.
Why buy it
This wine represents a choice of great prestige for those seeking an authoritative, elegant Tuscan red suitable for aging. The limited edition dedicated to the 40 harvests, combined with the double magnum format, makes it perfect for collectors, important gifts, and tables for special occasions. I Sodi di San Niccolò combines territorial identity, careful production, and expressive depth, offering a memorable and distinctive tasting experience.
