This pure merlot shows an impressive nose with a veritable ton of dark cherries, pressed violets, lavender and vanilla and resin. Very full-bodied with overt fruit and loads of ripe tannins, but it remains dialed-in, thanks to refreshing acidity and a sense of structure and purpose. Drink from 2023.
Producer
Domini Castellare di Castellina
Selected for its proven reputation and endless potential, Paolo Panerai purchased the Castellare di Castellina in the late 1970s. Under his guidance and constant attention, the winery grew into one of Tuscany’s most innovative producers. Their flagship wine, I Sodi di San Niccolò, pushes the limits, proving that native grapes can produce a product with just as much power and grace. The wine captures the unimaginable greatness of the Sangioveto (Sangiovese) grape. Along with their award winning wines, the Castellare di Castellina’s property is absolutely beautiful. A trip to the vineyard will impress any nature-lover. You can observe the natural environment that surrounds this wonderful winery within their wildlife refuge. The estate’s appreciation of nature is even further exhibited with a different bird representing each vintage on their labels.
