I SODI DI S.NICCOLÒ Toscana IGT<br />FIRST VINTAGE 1977<br />TYPOLOGY Red wine of great structure and longevity<br />VARIETY:85% Sangioveto; 15% Malvasia Nera<br />VINEYARDSCastellina in Chianti (SI)The standard bearer of Castellare, twice in the Top 100 of Wine Spectator, repeatedly three glasses and five bunches. Pride of the<br />winery for having been able to demonstrate the greatness of Sangiovese accompanied by Malvasia Nera.<br />Tasting notes: Intense ruby red in colour and with a great concentration on the nose, thanks to the presence of ripe red fruit that brings back notes of jam, but also spices,<br />vanilla and liquorice. In the mouth the wine is characterised by a dense and elegant texture, supported by the important acidity of the Sangiovese, the tannins are absolutely<br />sweet and the finish is long and very persistent. Pairings: excellent with salami and savoury meats, with richly succulent dishes and tasty, mature cheeses. Much<br />appreciated in combination with Tuscan Pecorino and Parmigiano.<br />Municipality of production: Castellina in Chianti (SI)<br />Soil type: limestoneVineyard elevation: 430 m. a.s.l.<br />Vineyard name: Vigna S.
