Critic Scores

96The Drinks Business

(IGT Toscana; 85% Sangioveto – a special clone of Sangiovese with thinner skins; 15% Malvasia Nera – which softens the big tannins of the Sangiovese; aged in oak, 50% new, 50% first and second use for 24-30 months; 14% alcohol; the bird adorning this year’s label is a stonechat – it changes each year and like the wine is sourced from the vineyard itself). Another brilliant I Sodi di San Niccolo following on from the sublime 2021 despite the rather more challenging vintage conditions (essentially, extremely hot and extremely dry). This is solar and sunny in temperament but with a lovely natural freshness to the fruit that holds everything in balance. Bracken, forest floor, rosemary and a hint of lavender accompany the copious, predominantly red, berry fruits – with a little tomato stalk and leaf too. This is dense, compact and quite intense in the mouth, with an intriguing blend of oak smoke and curry spices beautifully intermingling with the rich, bright red berry fruits. The tannins are very refined and their gentle grip and engagement, particularly, on the finish, serves to keep this fresh all the way to a distant horizon. The balance is very impressive. - Colin Hay

96Decanter

The 2022 evokes the wild woodlands of the Chianti hills as well the hard, stony soils that give I Sodi its name – all in one sophisticated package. Top-notes of leather and mocha meld with orange zest and Mediterranean forest flora. Cherry compote and fresh blackberry emerge as it sits in the glass. This is impeccably coiffed but still almost painfully young. The black brambly currant, candied violet and crushed stone core is tightly wrapped in endless layers of fine, grainy tannins. That firm grasp eventually cedes, allowing a succulent undertow to kickstart the saliva glands. Luscious acidity buoys the whole, and incense wafts headily throughout. - Georgina Hindle
