Tasting notes
A super charmer and immediate crowd-pleaser, the 2010 I Sodi di S. Niccolò is pure and buoyant with a focused sense of fruit sharpness and great intensity. The single-vineyard blend is 85% Sangioveto (the name this estate prefers to call Sangiovese) and 15% Malvasia Nera. The oak presence looms large with soft spice and dark concentration that caress the palate. Sweet tannins ride on the long finish of this baritone Tuscan red.

The 2010 I Sodi di San Niccolò bursts from the glass with superb intensity, power and richness. Violets and lavender meld into more savory notes as this structured, vibrant Sodi shows off its class and personality. The 2010 is inward and closed, yet also utterly captivating. Readers will have to be patient, but there is a lot to look forward to. The 2010 brings together finesse and structure in a way that has seldom been achieved before. This is a great showing from Castellare.
