Le 33+3 Vendemmie di Castellare

I Sodi di San Niccolò, Poggio ai Merli, Coniale: Castellare’s best production which for the third time in history comes together in a blended wine to celebrate the Estate’s 36rd anniversary. A wine of great structure which, however, does not lose the elegance and refinement of the best Sangioveto grapes that have always been selected for the production of I Sodi di San Niccolò.

Tasting notes:

Deep ruby red; the nose is characterised by a blend of red and black fruits and vanilla, with hints of coffee and chocolate that tie together an intense and profound olfactory sensation. The wine’s great structure is immediately perceptible in the mouth. However, the delicacy of a very fine tannins makes it velvety and harmonious. Certainly a wine with an extremely long finish indicative of its long life ahead.
