Tenute Silvio Nardi consists of 192 acres of estate vineyards in an untouched landscape and a natural organic habitat. Nardi’s classic Brunello is a blend of the finest grapes from the Manachiara and Casale del Bosco estates. Yield is limited and only the top 70% of the grapes are used to make the wine.
The fruit is carefully handpicked and sorted. The wine undergoes extended maceration for at least 20 days. It is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and then 18 months in large Slavonian oak before bottling.
James Suckling scored this 94 points saying "A linear and tight 2015, like many others, with a medium body, firm and fresh tannins and acidity and a berry, walnut and spice palate."
Wine Review Online scored this 92 saying "Silvio Nardi is one of my favorite Brunello producers, in part because they are consistent and in part because they make single vineyard bottlings from different sections of Montalcino that highlight the exciting diversity of that appellation. Most importantly, though, their single vineyard bottlings do not detract from this one, their “regular” (though there is nothing regular about it) Brunello, which comes from grapes grown in a variety of vineyards. I tasted Nardi’s 2015 Brunelli twice in the last couple of months, once in New York and once in Montalcino and came away with similar impressions both times. It’s packed, but not overdone, with appropriately firm, yet not hard, tannins that support the dark fruitiness and earthiness. The finish is remarkably juicy and fresh. A youthful wine, it needs a few years to settle down."
