Castellare I Sodi di San Niccolo 2017

Rich, dark cherry fruit on the nose, the Sangiovese very much to the fore, tempered by notes of judiciously used new oak. Lovely weight on the palate, broad and rich with red and black fruit notes, cherries, redcurrants and blackberries with notes of spice, kept in check by bright acidity and fined-grained tannins. Toasty and plush on the long finish. A delicious I Sodi which would benefit for a year or two in the cellar but will then drink very well for a decade or more.
