Sales tools

Tenute Silvio Nardi’s classic Brunello is a blend of the finest grapes from the Manachiara and Casale del Bosco estates. Silvio Nardi follows the strict DOCG laws required of a classified Brunello di Montalcino. Yield is limited and only the top 70% of the hand harvested grapes is used to make the wine. The fruit was carefully handpicked and sorted. The wine was aged for 12 months in French Allier barriques, 12 months in large Slavonian oak botte and at least 6 months in the bottle before release.

harvest note

This was a fairly even vintage. High daytime temperatures gave the grapes concentration while low nighttime temperatures allowed aromas to develop. After beneficial mid-September rains, harvest began with the Casale del Bosco grapes, followed by the older Manachiara vines in early October. Average yields were lower than required and fruit quality was excellent.

tasting note

Deep ruby-purple in color, this full-bodied wine offers intense aromas and flavors of red berries offset by notes of leather and incense, supported by firm, elegant tannins. It will develop for 10 or more years in the bottle.

food pairing

Pair with thick porterhouse steak or rich fish such as sturgeon or grouper.
