Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 750ml

Tenute Silvio Nardi is one of Montalcino's most established estates, farming two historic properties — Manachiara and Casale del Bosco — whose finest grapes are blended to produce the classic Brunello. The estate follows the strict DOCG laws of Brunello di Montalcino with rigorous discipline: yields are limited, only the top 70% of hand-harvested fruit is selected, and the wine is aged in two types of oak before extended bottle aging prior to release. It is a Brunello built for the long haul, reflecting the full weight of Montalcino's winemaking tradition.

The Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 750ml is 100% Sangiovese Grosso from the warm and generous 2021 vintage. It opens with red cherries, wild berries, spices, tobacco leaves, and crushed rocks on the nose. On the palate it is broad and muscular, with black cherry, blackberry, plum, and blueberry flavors accented by iron and menthol, compact lightly chewy tannins, and a vibrant line of acidity that keeps the wine lively and detailed through a persistent mineral finish. Patience is required — best from 2028 through 2043.
