Tenute Silvio Nardi |
| This eleventh Vintages release of Silvio Nardi’s Brunello nay well be the best to date as it hails from a terrific 2016 vintage. It has a fairly deep bright garnet red colour and a gently spicy, fairly complex, intense, ripe plum-cherry-cassis nose with some violet-rose floral, sandalwood-cedar notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, very slightly spicy, intense, ripe, elegant, plum-cherry flavours with a lovely, lingering, gently cedary, sandalwood-tinged finish. Has 14.5% alcohol and under 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L20/BR-16-1A on the back label. Aged for 12 months in new and used French oak barriques (Allier) followed by 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. |

| TASTING NOTE: 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. Drink date: 2023-2043. Score - 95+ (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Nov. 30, 2020) |
