Castellare di Castellina 'I Sodi di San Niccolo' Toscana IGT 2018 1.5L Petit Guiraud There is good underlying acidityThe 2018 I Sodi di San Niccol is the most elegant Sodi I have ever tasted, and I have tasted them all. Sodi can be quite the bruiser in its youth, as the tannins are often imposing, but the 2018 is impressive because there is more than enough fruit to balance things out. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and gravel build in a Sodi endowed with mind blowing purity and exceptional finesse. Superb! 97 Pts Antonio Galloni, Vinous
