Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino 2018 750ml

Tenute Silvio Nardi

In 1893, Francesco Nardi left his family’s farm to seek his fortune here in the States. After great success, Francesco returned to Toscana to start his own farm design business. In 1950, his son Silvio purchased Casale del Bosco in Montalcino, and eight years later, Silvio was among the first members of the newborn Consorzio del Vino Brunello, the ruling body of Brunello production. Silvio Nardi’s contemporary era began in 1991 when Silvio’s daughter Emilia assumed control of the estate. Nardi now covers about 200 acres in two different locations, and its wines bear distinct trademarks of elegance, longevity, and silky-smooth texture. Two major parcels comprise Silvio Nardi’s holdings: Casale del Bosco, whose five vineyards offer western exposure and soils of schist, shale, clay and jasper, and Manachiara, whose east-facing three parcels sport marly, sandy soils laced with limestone. Nardi wines bear distinct trademarks of elegance, longevity, and silky-smooth texture, making them favorites of in-the-know Brunello lovers.
