The flagship of Castellare. Created in the early 1980s to demonstrate that native grapes could produce a wine with all the power and grace of a Super Tuscan. The name "I Sodi" refers to land that is difficult to till (the grapes must be hand-harvested), and "San Niccolò" is an abandoned church on the Castellare property. This wine captures both the rich history of the vineyard as well as the Sangioveto grape's enormous potential.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose
Beautiful aromas of crushed blackberry and dried flowers
Palate
Aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Solid and concentrated yet balanced, although a little chewy needs bottle age. Might need some bottle ageing.
Colour
Intense red with garnet tints
