The 2019 vintage The 2019 vintage, despite initial concerns due to the highly variable climate, has turned out to be one of the best in recent years. “I Sodi di S. Niccolò 2019 is characterized by a great olfactory intensity and a dense and elegant texture of sweet and silky ta nnins. The acidity of Sangioveto gives great freshness and makes the sip particularly pleasant and crunchy, with a long finish and great persistence. Ready to drink now but also suitable for a very long aging”. Awards Alessandro Cellai, winemaker
