Niccolo 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e94 CellarTracker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs every year, for me one of the best Chianti Classico along with Felsina’s Colonia, also the I Sodi di San Niccolo is labelled as IGT and is known as a Supertuscan in cause of the regulations in the 70‘s. Nevertheless from today’s point of view it’s a very traditional wine and very near to the gran selezione parameters. If the QPR is important for you, this wine is one of the top products from the Chianti Classico area year by year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vintage 2014 is more classic than 2013 had been. With flavours of sour cherry, some blue berries, some violet, a little bit of earthy forest notes, some black pepper. The Nose is also bringing some thyme and rosemary after the fruit notes. After two hours there had been some hints of rosewater, but not as intense as in 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI guess it’s a bit too early for this vintage and it will improve over the next years. But it was a very pleasant companion to a big steak. Now it’s a 94 for me, but maybe it can reach a 95 with two more years in the cellar and with not more than one hour of air. In my opinion Sangiovese losing something with too much air. 12\/17\/2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 CellarTracker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 hour decant in glass. Rich garnet with dark ruby edge in color. Nose of cherry liqueur, pipe tobacco, newly tanned leather, tar and glints of espresso. On the palate: bing cherries, tar, rose water, minerals and espresso. Silky tannins are well integrated, perceived primarily on the cheeks and gums. Long finish of red berries, tar and subtle wood spice. The wine has impressive intensity from nose to palate to finish and is very dynamic. Not sure I'd say it was linear across the palate, but there's certainly no \"dead spots\"...just getting different flavors \/ elements from front to back. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e11\/23\/2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"AMALFI COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52119826628888,"sku":"SP289061-C400911","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5302\/9400\/files\/IMG_4981.jpg?v=1780200400","url":"https:\/\/chapfour.com\/products\/castellare-i-sodi-di-niccolo-2014","provider":"CHAPTER 4 | FINE + RARE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
