Cellar

The wine cellar Castellare di Castellina was born in Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico, from the union of four estates (Castellare, Caselle, San Niccolò and Le Case) created by Paolo Panerai with the aim of producing wine of the best possible quality. It was the 1970s when the so-called Renaissance of Italian wine had begun. From the very beginning, the famous Tuscan winery made a great contribution to the 'Renaissance', bringing tradition and innovation together. Tradition in the care of the vines and the land, distinguished between campi and sodi (where campi are the easiest soils to work and sodi the hardest but best plots for growing vines), in the decision to still produce wine according to the Tuscan government method, to respect Chianti Classico by using only indigenous vines, and to produce a great wine, recognised internationally as one of the greatest reds in the world, using only indigenous Tuscan vines.

Description

I Sodi di San Niccolò Toscana IGT from the Tuscan winery Castellare di Castellina is a great Supertuscan red wine, award-winning and with a noble soul. It is a masterpiece that has twice been judged Italy's #1 red wine ahead of Solaia and Sassicaia with the 2013 and 2016 vintages and the first Italian wine to be included in Wine Spectator's Top 100 in 1988 (the first) with the 1985 vintage; repeated in 1989 with the 1986 vintage. The product is sold in a wooden box.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

It has an intense ruby red colour. On the nose, it has great olfactory concentration, thanks to the presence of ripe red fruit that leads back to notes of jam, but also spices, vanilla and liquorice. In the mouth, the wine is characterised by a dense and elegant texture, also supported by the important acidity of the Sangiovese, the tannins are absolutely sweet and the finish is long and very persistent.

Storage time: 

20-25 years

Vinification 

Alcoholic fermentation took place in steel tanks, separately for the two varieties, at approximately 25°C for 7 days.
