I Sodi di S. Niccolò is Castellare’s top wine, ranked in the Wine Spectator Top 100 on multiple occasions and recognized with the prestigious Gambero Rosso’s Tre Bicchieri. The estate takes great pride in demonstrating the greatness of the Sangioveto variety, paired with Malvasia Nera. Deeply sophisticated and showcasing its full pedigree in terms of both the bouquet and palate of the wine. The fruit quality is exceptional, and each individual aroma can be distinguished with total clarity, from the cherry to the spices, whose focus and integration are exceptional. Composed of Sangioveto (85%-90%) and Malvasia nera (15-10%).
About the Producer
The Castellare estate is one of the best examples of tradition in the area. The winery’s owner, Paolo Panerai, has closely studied the world’s best wineries and applied this understanding and experience to viticulture in Italy.
The Castellare property, located in Tuscany’s Castellina in Chianti, has become a virtual refuge for wildlife, including many of the birds pictured on their labels. With each vintage, the Castellare label shows a different bird, symbolizing the estate’s commitment to environmentally sound cultivation.
