Notes from critics

Another amazing Super Tuscan you'll want to add to your collection. From the floral notes to the ripe red and dark fruit flavors with accents of tobacco and spice and an underlying earthiness, this wine delivers the goods. Excellent!

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. Sangioveto and Malvasia Nera.

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.
