Region: Tuscany, Italy
Grape: 85% Sangioveto (local Sangiovese clone), 15% Malvasia Nera
Tasting: Blackcurrant / Dark Chocolate / Cedar / Spice / Tobacco / Full Bodied / Long Finish
Pairing: Roast Duck / Guinea Fowl with Jus / Chargrilled Ribeye Steak / Wild Mushroom Risotto / Parmigiano
Producer: There have been 45 releases of I Sodi di San Niccolò under Paolo Panerai's ownership. Since 1979, Castellare di Castellina has combined exceptional winemaking with environmental protection, practising chemical-free viticulture and championing biodiversity. Each vintage label features a different endangered Tuscan bird - the 2017 showcases the Red-backed Shrike - as part of their partnership with the Italian League for Bird Protection. Their flagship wine comes from the steep, southwest-facing San Niccolò vineyard, where old vines produce one of Tuscany's most distinguished wines.
2017 Vintage: 2017 was marked by intense heat and drought in Tuscany. While challenging, the old vines and optimal exposure of the San Niccolò vineyard, combined with careful canopy management, allowed the grapes to achieve full ripeness while maintaining freshness. The result is a wine of concentration and power, supported by classical structure and remarkable balance.
ABV: 14.5%
Vol: 75cl
Contains Sulphites
