I Sodi di S.Niccolo is one of the first Super Italian Supertuscans (1st Harvest 1977) that is made exclusively with native Chianti Classico vines (Sangiovese & Malvasia Nera). The Origin of the name comes from the word used by Tuscan peasants to describe those lands that had to be worked on by hand, being too hard (Italian word = Sodi) or too steep to allow the use of oxen. San Niccolo is the name of the 14th century church that rises on the property of Castellare around which the vineyards are located.

On the label, the iconic bird, always present on Castellare red wines, symbol of the daily commitment to sustainable viticulture.

This celebrated Tuscan red is a blend of mostly Sangioveto (also known as Sangiovese) with a smaller part of Malvasia Nera. The Castellare di Castellina 2018 I Sodi di S. Niccolò shows the elegance and grace of these native grapes with aromas of red and purple fruit, cherry, wild rose and gardening soil. However, there is also a strong oak element that adds spice and toast to the bouquet and textural weight to the wine's generous build.
