I Sodi Wine Estate: A Family Tradition

Located in the heart of Chianti Classico, I Sodi Wine Estate is nestled among the picturesque hills between Monti and the historic Castle of Brolio. Established in 1893, the estate showcases traditional local architecture and offers breathtaking views of Monte Amiata and Crete Senesi. The Casini family acquired the estate in 1973, and today, the third generation continues the family legacy of producing high-quality wines while maintaining their independence.

Exceptional Grapes: Canaiolo and Sangiovese

With vineyards planted over 40 years ago, I Sodi has dedicated one-third of its property to new plantings that comply with the Chianti Classico DOCG regulations. The family meticulously cares for their older vineyards to ensure the consistent production of premium Canaiolo and Sangiovese grapes, which are essential for their renowned red and dessert wines. Harvest typically begins in mid-September and continues into October, allowing for optimal grape ripeness.

Tradition Meets Modern Winemaking

Spanning 12 hectares, all of I Sodi's vineyards surround the estate, where grapes are handpicked and carefully selected. The winery prides itself on managing every aspect of the winemaking process in-house, honoring traditional methods while showcasing the unique characteristics of their terroir. In 2007, the winery upgraded its facilities with new stainless steel tanks and expanded the barrel room, enhancing their wine production capabilities.

Just like the mixed reviews on here, my experience had some hits and misses. The highlights: parppadelle al limone was so delicious; buttery and yet refreshing. The portion was pretty generous! The endive salad with apple, walnuts and goat cheese was also good. A well balance of flavors and texture and good portion size. The misses: the bread was a bit hard and the olive oil was so mediocre. The specials burrata with truffle was so small and a bit bland. The quality did not live up to the price of $29.

Very, very good, but I had a stomach ache during digestion, like a minor food intolerance to something that wasn't very fresh...! Or can you not tolerate the gluten in pasta, which would therefore be industrial?? Harmful... The meat was good and the cheeses were of good quality. However, we did like the dessert—the flourless chocolate cake—which was of the same quality as a French dessert.

iSodi is not just a restaurant; it's an experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the space. While our initial reservation was for the Garden, the accommodating staff seamlessly transitioned us to a cozy indoor table. Our server, Shannon, was the epitome of hospitality. Her knowledge, recommendations, and warm demeanor elevated our dining experience. The iconic lasagna was a flavor explosion, every bite a testament to the chef's artistry. The parpadelle limone was equally delightful. The wine-braised short rib was meltingly tender and packed with rich flavor. Every dish was outstanding, a testament to the culinary brilliance of iSodi. While securing a reservation might be a challenge, it's a worthy endeavor. iSodi exceeds expectations. Can’t wait to return to indulge once again!
