Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Tuscany, Italy2020 is a wonderful vintage in Brunello, and the Nardi is a good example of what Brunello is all about. The aromas are inviting yet restrained, with ripe red cherry and plum balanced by leather, earth, and savoury underbrush. The palate has a rich texture and delicious, warm, intense red fruit with a savoury undertone. Structurally, the acidity and dense, fine-grained tannins provide a foundation for aging over the next five years. The very best fruit is selected from several blocks across both main sites to make the Nardi label. Interestingly, Eric Boissonot, one of Bordeaux's most influential consulting oenologists and arguably the leading specialist in Médoc wines, works with Nardi during the crucial blending moments before the final blend is put together. Boissonot consults with at least 19 classified growths, including several 1st Growths: Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Mouton Rothschild, and Château Margaux. Boissonot excels at blending.Tasted: 02 October 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
