Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino 2013

Tuscany, ItalyTenute Silvio Nardi is located in Casale del Bosco, in Montalcino’s northwest area. The estate farms 80 hectares of vines divided into 36 vineyards. This Brunello comes from two estates owned by the Nardi family: the original rocky, volcanic-laced property in the NW corner, purchased by the family in 1950; and the newer property in the east on clay, schist, and sandstone soils. Together they make a very elegant whole. This was native fermented in stainless, before a year's rest in 750L and 1900L oak barrels. Warm, worn cherry, leather, perfumed roses run long along the elegant palate, with a bright spire of acidity poking through. Tannins are polished, but still have a stickiness to them, tugging this along to a brown spiced finish. Drink now, with grilled lamb or pork.Tasted: 11 November 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
