The name \"I Sodi\" refers to\u003cbr\u003eland that is difficult to till (the grapes must be hand-harvested), and \"San Niccolò\" is an\u003cbr\u003eabandoned church on the Castellare property. This wine captures both the rich history of the\u003cbr\u003evineyard as well as the Sangioveto grape's enormous potential.\u003cbr\u003eT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003eFull-bodied, with firm yet fine-grained tannins, I Sodi di San Niccolò is a rich and elegant wine\u003cbr\u003ethat offers aromas of ripe cherries, dark berries, and currants which are complemented by\u003cbr\u003enotes of vanilla, leather, and cedar.
