One of the first vertical tastings I did in Chianti Classico was a complete vertical of I Sodi di San Niccolò about fifteen years ago with proprietor Paolo Panerai and winemaker Alessandro Cellai. It was a key moment in my understanding of the region and the potential of its wines. Since then, Panerai and Cellai have scaled even greater heights. This year’s wines are tremendous. The 2018 Chianti Classico is the sort of wine readers should buy by the case. It is delicious and affordable. At the other end of the spectrum, the 2016 I Sodi di San Niccolò is truly epic. In addition to being magnificent, the 2016 Sodi offers unreal value in the world of high-end, cellarworthy wine. Don’t miss it.
