I know you're a fan of Italian reds, and didn't want you to miss out on this limited wine.
Equals Sassicaia at only $99.99
We only have five cases of this one, so I’m offering it to our Italian wine fans first.
The 2020 Castellare I Sodi di San Niccolo is one of the top-rated vintages ever of this Super-Tuscan icon. In fact, both Vinous and the Wine Spectator rate it equal to the $350 Sassicaia! (And above the Ornellaia, at $310.)
And it made the “Top 100” lists for both.
And the next-lowest NC price (if they have it) is $124.99. And Total (which does actually have it) is at $139.99.
But we are offering our five cases at only $99.99.
2020 Castellare I Sodi di San Niccolo
reg. $125/$99.99 sale
Vinous 97 – with Sassicaia, the top Super-Tuscan of the vintage:
The 2020 I Sodi di San Niccolò is fabulous. It is a rare wine that offers power, finesse and translucent energy at once. All the elements are in perfect balance. I can’t remember a Sodi like this one, a wine that is so complete and alluring right out of the gate. Rose petal, lavender, spice, orange peel and sage open first. What impresses me most about the 2020 is the finesse of its tannin, something I have very rarely seen in Sodi at this early stage. Magical. This is remarkable in every way.
Also 97 and the top Super-Tuscan with Sassicaia for the Wine Spectator:
Packed with ripe, juicy cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and floral aromas and flavors, this red is supple and beautifully integrated. Earth, iron and tobacco accents add detail as this winds down on the lazy, resonant aftertaste, showing terrific energy.
Again, this also made both of their Top 100 lists.
A truly remarkable Super-Tuscan, and one of the few made entirely with native Italian grapes (mainly Sangiovese).
