I Sodi di San Niccolò 2017 Magnum is the flagship wine of the Castellare di Castellina winery, one of the most prestigious expressions of Sangioveto, vinified as a single varietal with a small proportion of Malvasia Nera. Born in the heart of Chianti Classico, it has been a benchmark for great Tuscan reds for decades, capable of combining power, elegance, and longevity.
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections.
On the nose, it releases a complex and refined bouquet, with aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry, enriched by notes of sweet tobacco, liquorice, fine spices, and an elegant balsamic hint.
On the palate, it is structured and deep, with dense and silky tannins that support a broad and enveloping sip. Balanced freshness accompanies the ripe fruit, while the finish is extremely long and persistent, with spicy and mineral returns that enhance its complexity.
A great Tuscan red for aging, which in the Magnum format best expresses its vocation for longevity. Perfect to pair with red meats, game, traditional Tuscan dishes, and aged cheeses, it is also a meditation wine for special occasions.
