Castellare Di Castellina 'I Sodi di San Niccolo' 2019 - 1.5 Litre Bottle
Castellare di Castellina 'I Sodi di San Niccolo' 2019 originates from Italy, within the Tuscany region and the Chianti Classico area. The estate was founded in the late 1970s when Paolo Panerai merged four smaller farms with the goal of producing wine of the highest possible quality. The winemaking philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for tradition and the environment, which is reflected in the iconic labels featuring birds to represent the winery's commitment to avoiding synthetic chemicals that could harm the local ecosystem.
Wine Description
This red wine presents a deep, intense ruby red colour and possesses a full, structured body. The sensory profile is elegant and complex, featuring an aromatic nose of red berries, black cherries, and plums, complemented by notes of vanilla, liquorice, and tobacco. On the palate, it is concentrated and harmonious, delivering rich fruit flavours supported by firm, silky tannins and a vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, showcasing great depth and a refined spicy character.
Varietal Composition: A blend of 85% Sangioveto (a local Sangiovese clone) and 15% Malvasia Nera.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is celebrated for its incredible longevity and complexity, having been matured for 24 to 30 months in French oak barriques followed by 12 months in the bottle.
ABV: 14.5%.
Organic Status: While not certified organic, the estate strictly follows sustainable viticulture and has prohibited the use of herbicides and pesticides since its inception to protect local wildlife.
Food Pairing
The robust structure and refined tannins of this wine make it an ideal partner for flavourful and savoury dishes.
Meats: Pairs excellently with grilled red meats, Florentine steak, and roasted game such as wild boar or venison.
Savoury: Suggested pairings include traditional Tuscan pasta dishes with meat ragù or truffle infused risotto.
Cheese: Matches well with mature, hard cheeses like aged Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano Reggiano.
Vintage Quality
The 2019 vintage in Tuscany is regarded as an exceptional and classic year, characterized by a balanced growing season with ideal temperature shifts. These conditions allowed for slow, even ripening, resulting in grapes with fantastic aromatic intensity and structural harmony. The winemaker's skill in managing the harvest during this high quality season has produced a wine that perfectly captures the elegance and power of the Castellina terroir.
