Castellare di Castellina I Sodi di San Niccolo is an impressive Italian red wine from Tuscany, produced by the renowned Castellare di Castellina winery. It is a so-called Supertuscan, made from the indigenous grape varieties Sangiovese and Malvasia Nero. The name Sodi is derived from a word used by Tuscan farmers to describe soils that are too steep to be worked with machines. So everything is worked by hand. San Niccolo, on the other hand, is the name of a church located on the estate.

The I Sodi di San Niccolo presents itself with a deep red color and an intense bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as cherries, blackcurrants and plums. These aromas are accompanied by notes of spices, cedar wood and tobacco, which give the wine additional complexity. On the palate, I Sodi di San Niccolo is both powerful and elegant. It is full-bodied, with sweet and silky tannins and a balanced acidity that gives the wine a great freshness and makes the taste pleasant and crisp. The wine has a remarkable structure and a long, noble finish.

The I Sodi San Niccolo from Castellare di Castellina was fermented in steel tanks and then matured 2/3 in new barriques and 1/3 in used barriques. After maturing in the bottle for 10 months, it was finally launched on the market.

Castellare di Castellina I Sodi di San Niccolo is an excellent accompaniment to sophisticated dishes. It tastes great with grilled meat, game dishes, mature cheese and hearty pasta dishes.

Product recommendation

Mazzei Concerto Di Fonterutoli Rosso Toscana IGT

One of the forerunners of the Supertuscans, first created by Mazzei in 1981, and still an outstanding red wine from Chianti today: the Mazzei Concerto Di Fonterutoli is also a composition in the 2020 vintage that is exuberantly celebrated by international wine critics. In this quality class, it is almost a bargain from Castello di Fonterutoli, located around 20 kilometers north of Siena.The Concerto Di Fonterutoli is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The bouquet of this Italian red wine is exceptionally multifaceted. "An extremely aromatic red wine," writes James Suckling, who awards it 96 points. After opening the bottle, you can look forward to the scent of blackcurrants, dark plums and ripe cherries. These notes harmonize perfectly with the scent of herbs, earthy tones and a beautiful spiciness (white pepper) as well as nuances of leather and a fine minerality.Dry and powerful on the palate, with a variety and depth of flavors that are not easily found a second time. "Full-bodied and yet so crisp and juicy on the palate with crushed blackberries and raspberries. Citrus-influenced acidity," says Suckling. Monica Larner, who awarded the Concerto Di Fonterutoli 94 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, writes: "There is plenty of sweet fruit on the palate, followed by beautifully integrated, dry tannins." The finish lingers for a long time and is engagingly elegant.A guarantee of enjoyment in the "exceptional wine" category until 2040. The Concerto Di Fonterutoli matured for 18 months in oak, with the Sangiovese being aged in tonneaux (500 liter barrels) and the Cabernet Sauvignon in French oak barriques (225 liter barrels). This was followed by a three-month refinement of the blend in cement tanks.Finally, these words from wine critic Antonio Galloni about the Mazzei Concerto Di Fonterutoli 2020 (95 points): "The 2020 is a beautiful wine that captures the essence of the house style wonderfully. Today, the purity of the fruit really jumps out of the glass. Outstanding." Happy to uncork a bottle of this Italian red wine from the Mazzei family.

Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino DOC

Like its predecessors, the 2017 vintage of Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino also impresses the international wine world. Awarded 94 points by James Suckling, 93 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points in Decanter, and 92 points in WineEnthusiast, the Brunello is a feast for the senses and another outstanding example of why Poggio Antico has been considered an iconic winemaker in Tuscany for decades.The Sangiovese bouquet is fascinatingly intense and multi-faceted. "Aromas reminiscent of undergrowth, rubbed botanical herbs, wild roses and wild berries pour from the glass," according to Kerin O'Keefe in the Wine Enthusiast, while James Suckling writes of a pure cherry, berry and floral character with underlying notes of cedar. Decanter says, "Smells quite savory of coffee, dark chocolate, bitter orange peel and some Christmas spices, cloves and cinnamon," adding that the savory spice is in the foreground.On the palate, this fine red wine from Tuscany is terrifically elegant, with a medium to full body. In addition, there is a wonderful depth and variety of aromas. The elegant palate offers dried cherries, licorice and ground cloves in a complex interplay with fine-grained tannins, as O'Keefe writes. The Wine Advocate highlights lots of fresh fruit and the soft and supple tannins, while Decanter, in turn, recognizes tension and precision on the palate, well-integrated tannins and a lovely sweetness at the start. The long, aromatic finish completes this taste experience.This single-varietal Sangiovese from the 30 hectares of picturesquely situated sites of Poggio Antico is outstanding. A major contributing factor is that the grapes ripen about 500 meters above sea level on chalky, stony soils. The harvest yields are deliberately severely limited. The Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino is aged for 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by another 18 months in the bottle.A superb classic of Italian winemaking. Enjoy the Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino with red meat or game dishes, preferably with mushrooms. A strong cheese is also an excellent companion for the Brunello - we recommend, for example, a Pecorino from Tuscany or a Toma Piemontese. Tip: Enjoy this Brunello after 2024.

Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore

The Maremma is a characterful landscape in central Italy, which is also known for its excellent wines. Argentiera Bolgheri Superiore from Tenuta Argentiera has a bright ruby red color with violet hues. On the palate, notes of licorice and black currants. This generous, complex wine - consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc - is rich in tannins. It has a wonderful balance with a pleasant acidity. The finish is long lasting - with a remarkable freshness and minerality.The harvested grapes come from the best vineyards of the estate. The grapes were vinified separately; fermentation and maceration took about 25 to 30 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then transferred to 225-liter French oak barriques, where its malolactic fermentation was completetd. The further maturation was about 14 months in oak barrels and then at least another 12 months on the bottle.Tenuta Argentiera is located on the picturesque coast of the Northern Maremma, about 100 km southwest of Florence.

Orma Toscana Rosso IGT 2020

The 2020 vintage of Orma Toscana Rosso is another red wine from Tuscany that has been showered with praise by international wine critics.

For the 2020 vintage of Orma, it received 94 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points from James Suckling and 96 points in Falstaff, among others.The Supertuscan is a blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. The bouquet of the dark ruby-red Orma is simply fantastically multi-faceted. Monica Larner writes in the Wine Advocate of notes of "wild plum, blackberry jam, dark spices and dried tobacco". Suckling judges: "Tobacco, sage and rosemary come into their own, along with red currants and cassis", while Falstaff chooses these words: "Intense nose with notes of cloves, some mint, fine blackberry, slightly earthy components in the background."On the palate, the Italian red wine from Sette Ponti, located around 65 kilometers south-east of Florence, is dry and incredibly dense and powerful, with masterfully integrated tannins and exceptional roundness. "Full-bodied and yet polished, with a solid and dense mid-palate," is Suckling's verdict and Falstaff's praise: "Spreads out beautifully on the palate, has lots of fine, hearty tannins, beautiful juiciness, crisp fruit and a long finish."After tasting the Orma Toscana Rosso 2020, Monica Larner recommends: "A wine of this depth and magnitude is best served with a classic T-bone cut bistecca alla Fiorentina."If you are lucky enough to be able to open one of the limited-edition Super Tuscans, you should enjoy the Orma 2020 at a drinking temperature of 15 to 18 degrees. Aged for 14 months in barriques, this red wine from Tuscany is an outstanding drinking pleasure until 2042. Enjoy it to the full!
