Castellare I Sodi Di S. Niccolo awarded with 97 points from Wine Spectator

   I Sodi di S. Niccolò 2021 awarded with 97 points from Wine Spectator. Dark flavors of cherry, plum and blackberry are fresh, focused and framed by a light touch of toasty oak, iron, earth, eucalyptus and tobacco notes add depth as this red plays out on the long aftertaste. Intense and resonant with superb balance and excellent potential. 

What makes a collectible wine?
According to Wine Spectator, which draws up the Collectibles ranking, is the potential for improvement with aging in the bottle that allows the wine to acquire complexity and character and therefore to increase its value over time, becoming very attractive for collectors.

This is the case for the 2021 vintage of I Sodi di S. Niccolò di Castellare di Castellina, which ranks at the top of the Collectibles list, a collector's wine ranking revealed in preview through the Wine Spectators' Advance (anticipations of the guide which will be released next October). The Super Tuscan of Castellare, with a score of 97/100 (higher than Masseto, for example), thus proves to be a wine also for investment.

“Intense and resonant, with superb balance and excellent potential”: this is how Bruce Sanderson, senior editor at WS, describes the 2021 vintage, adding that it will be at its best from 2028 to 2045 and thus recognizing its aging potential that well exceeds twenty years.

That I Sodi di S. Niccolò is a wine to invest in is also confirmed by Liv-Ex, a platform that every year decrees the most popular fine wines on the market. In the recently unveiled 2025 ranking, among the most prized labels in the world there is also the Super Tuscan from Castellare di Castellina which thus confirms itself as an excellent investment.
