Castellare I Sodi Di San Niccolo 1990

HED11102 75cl 13%
Castellare I Sodi Di San Niccolo 1990 is a full-bodied Sangiovese-based red wine from the Chianti region of Tuscany. Castellare di Castellina has rocketed to global recognition with this flagship Super Tuscan. Typically it is a blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Malvasia Nera that is aged in 50% new barriques for up to 30 months and a further 12 months in bottle. "The 1990 I Sodi di San Niccolo is flat-out great. It boasts tremendous concentration, power and richness. The 1990 can be enjoyed today, but readers who like fully mature wines will want to cellar this for another few years. A blast of dark cherries, flowers and licorice saturates the palate on the huge, building finish. This is a dazzling and marvelously complete wine from Castellare. Anticipated maturity. 2012-2020." Wine Advocate, 2012

Biondi-Santi

Biondi-Santi

One of Tuscany's most venerable estates, the Biondi Santi family have been producing wines from the Greppo vineyards since the 1800s. Still family owned and now managed by Franco Biondi Santi and his children, the winery produces three wines - a straight Brunello di Montalcino, a Riserva and Sassoalloro, IGT Toscana - both using 100% Sangiovese.

The vineyard team manage around twenty five hectares of vines and the focus is very much on traditional techniques and preserving the fresh character of the fruit. This means early harvests, long macerations and mostly stainless steel or inactive oak for ageing although the Riserva sees some more active oak initially before being racked into larger casks.
