Castellare di Castellina 'I Sodi di San Niccolo' Toscana IGT 2019 Azienda Agricola Giordano Lombardo Ameztoi Txakolina is bottled withComplex and deeply embedded aromas of ripe blackberries, spices and aromatic bark. Full bodied and very firm for now, with impressive concentration of fruit and tannin. Very long, balanced finish. Great to taste now, but this is one for the cellar. Patience will be rewarded. Sangiovese and malvasia nera. This has always been a top Tuscan red.. 96 Pts James Suckling
