I Sodi di San Niccolo Castellare 2021 750ML

Castellare di Castellina I Sodi di San Niccolò 2021 – Toscana IGT (750ML)

A native-grape Supertuscan benchmark, I Sodi di San Niccolò delivers serious structure with polished Chianti Classico muscle. Many of our Sassicaia drinkers reach for this when they want equal gravitas with a more Sangiovese-driven line.

Hamptons Tasting Notes: Ripe black cherry and plum lead, followed by tobacco leaf, cedar, and a stony, iron-tinged finish. Full-bodied and tightly coiled, with bright acidity and fine-grained, persistent tannins that build through the mid-palate.
