Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of ruby red, little
transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas which start with hints of plum and black cherry followed by
aromas of blueberry, blackberry, violet, licorice, tobacco, cocoa,
cinnamon, vanilla and menthol. In the mouth has good correspondence to the
nose, a slightly tannic attack and however well balanced by alcohol, full
body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors
of plum, black cherry and blueberry. A well made wine. I Sodi di San
Niccolò ages for 15-30 months in barrique followed by 12 months of aging
in bottle.
