This is a terrific set of wines from proprietor Paolo Panerai and longtime winemaker Alessandro Cellai. I especially admire the 2020 Chianti Classico, another excellent wine from this young vintage, for its classicism and transparency. At the other end of the spectrum, the Sodi di San Niccolò is magnificent for the way it conveys depth and structure, but with tannins that are less forbidding than is typically the case. The 2018 is a gorgeous wine, and I say that having tasted every vintage all the way back to the beginning.
