What makes this wine special is the winery's approach. Rather than blending all the grapes into a single house style, Nardi highlights the individuality of each vineyard. The alcohol content is approximately 14.5%, which is typical for Brunello.
It is suitable for both cellaring and immediate drinking. It is best enjoyed by 2045.

The Tenute Silvio Nardi 2016 Brunello di Montalcino makes a big impact in the glass thanks to its dark color saturation and the pretty intensity of its aromas that range from dark fruit and plum to soft potting soil and grilled herb. You get beautiful balance here, even more so when you allow the bottle to breathe for a few hours. A twofold delivery of freshness and tannic backbone gives the wine the DNA required to hold 10 years or more.

A mix of cherry, plum, leather, earth and iron flavors mark this red. Starts out rich and supple in texture, then the assertive tannins sweep in midpalate through the finish. Finds a good balance in the end and finishes long. Best from 2025 through 2045.
James Suckling (95)
A creamy and juicy Brunello with dried-berry, peach and dusty-earth character. It’s full-bodied, chewy and very intense. Lots of fruit, yet reserved and toned with tannins that stay with you throughout. Give it at least three of four years to open. Try after 2024.
Falstaff (92)
Bright, noble ruby red. Hearty nose, dark berries and ripe cherries, slightly balsamic undertone, noble wood. Opens on the palate with beautiful density and rich texture, dark fruit core, almost opulent, slightly malty, yet coherent in itself.
