Sint Nikulas Barrel Aged Tripel Beer from Birrificio San Gimignano srl

Sint Nikulas Barrel Aged Tripel represents the pinnacle of Birrificio San Gimignano's brewing expertise. This Tripel-style lager isn't simply a product, but a sensory journey that begins with slow and meticulous maturation: a full 10 months in barrique. This long aging in wood gives the beer extraordinary complexity, where the 10% ABV blends harmoniously with delicate tannins and unique evolutionary nuances.

Strictly refermented in the bottle, Sint Nikulas is unfiltered and unpasteurized, preserving the natural yeast sediment that testifies to its authenticity and guarantees its continued evolution over time. On the palate, the structure is imposing yet velvety, with an alcoholic warmth that embraces spicy, fruity notes and the noble aromas imparted by the wood aging, making each sip profound and persistent.

Made using organic ingredients and ancient Tuscan grains, this beer is the result of a project aimed at bringing the essence of the region directly into the brewery. Sint Nikulas is the ultimate expression of the "Wandering Winery" concept, where brewing techniques meet the art of winemaking and aging, creating a beer that defies definition and ranks among the finest sipping beers.
 
 
 

The roots of this Sint Nikulas Barrel Aged Tripel beer are deep in tradition

Birrificio San Gimignano began its journey in 2013 as a pioneer of fully certified organic production, but it was with the "Cantina Errante" project that it rediscovered the ancient art of aging in wood. The inspiration for this Barrel Aged Tripel comes from a desire to experiment with barriques to create an unbreakable bond between the worlds of beer and wine, a hallmark of Tuscan tradition.

At the heart of this product is the "Cereal Populations" revolution: instead of sowing a single variety, over 2000 different types of grain coexist in the field. This biodiversity ensures a natural resilience that translates into a raw material rich in character, capable of expressing a unique terroir. Sint Nikulas is therefore the fruit of a living environment, where people, stories, and nature intertwine to create a beer that speaks of the resilience and beauty of the Tuscan land.

• GOURMET AND REFINED APERITIF:

The barrel-aged structure requires intense flavors. The ideal pairing is with a Caciocavallo Seasoned 60 months Organic 400g, where the beer cleanses the palate of the fatty component of the cheese, enhancing its spicy and buttery notes.
