Castellare di Castellina’s 2019 I Sodi di San Niccolò shows concentrated red and black cherry fruit layered with floral lift, sweet spice, and earthy depth, all framed by firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Broad and powerful through the mid-palate, it tightens toward a long, precise finish that promises even greater complexity with time in bottle.
Bistecca alla fiorentina; Braised lamb shank with rosemary and olives; Aged pecorino Toscano

I Sodi di San Niccolò is Castellare di Castellina’s flagship “Super Tuscan,” a Toscana IGT red built almost entirely from old-vine native grapes (primarily Sangioveto with a smaller share of Malvasia Nera) from a high-altitude, limestone, single-vineyard cru in Castellina in Chianti. Fermented in steel and aged extensively in barrique and bottle, it’s known for combining intense ripe red and dark fruit, spice, and licorice notes with vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and outstanding longevity, making it one of Tuscany’s benchmark ageworthy wines.
