Descrizione

The Rosso I Sodi di S.Niccolò IGT di Castellare is born in the renowned Chianti Classico area, a territory famous for the quality of its red wines. Obtained mainly from Sangiovese, this wine embodies the elegance and intensity typical of a territorial wine that reflects the soul of Arezzo. The aging process involves a passage in oak barrels that gives the wine structure and complexity, balancing the vigorous tannins with an enveloping softness.

On the nose, you can perceive hints of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by light spicy notes and a delicate floral touch. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance between freshness, acidity, and persistence, with a long and pleasantly tannic finish. Ideal when paired with meat dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses, this red wine expresses Tuscan tradition with refinement.

Winery history

Established in the 1970s when Paolo Panerai merged several estates, the winery has combined traditional methods with scientific experimentation. Over time it has introduced modern techniques while maintaining a focus on land stewardship practices.

Production philosophy

Strong focus on the value of the land and native grape varieties, with deliberately low yields to prioritize quality. Agronomic management avoids synthetic chemical inputs and aims for practices that enable wines expressive of the terroir; in addition to wine, the estate also produces olive oil, grappa and artisanal vinegars.

Terroir and vineyards

Located near Castellina in Chianti, the estate has southeast-facing vineyards on mixed soils of calcareous marls and galestro with a low clay content. The natural amphitheatre of the hills favours structured wines suitable for ageing.

Awards and recognitions

International recognition for flagship wines: repeated appearances of "I Sodi di S. Niccolò" in Wine Spectator's Top 100 and high ratings from critics and guides; mentions and awards reported in the company's official communications and in specialist publications.
