Rosso di Montalcino Tenute Silvio Nardi 2022

Tenute Silvio Nardi's Rosso di Montalcino represents an accessible interpretation of the Montalcino terroir, made by one of the wineries that contributed to the creation of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino in 1967. Since the winery was founded in the 1950s by Umbrian-born entrepreneur Silvio Nardi, this winery has been run on a strictly family basis. Currently, it is Emilia Nardi, Silvio's youngest daughter, who serves as general manager of the estates, supported by Emanuele Nardi, the family's third generation oenologist and responsible for the winery's technical-oenological aspect.

Rosso di Montalcino Tenute Silvio Nardi originates from only Sangiovese grown in several estate vineyards, characterized by soils of marl and marly-arenaceous formations, northwest exposure and an altitude of 300 meters above sea level. Manual harvesting is followed by destemming of the grapes and a short cold pre-fermentation maceration. Subsequent alcoholic fermentation takes place in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks in contact with the skins for at least 15 days while the ensuing maturation period of several months takes place in wood of various capacities, some new and some from multiple passages.

Tenute Silvio Nardi Rosso di Montalcino possesses a deep ruby red color. The nose has aromas of wild berries, cherry and violet, combined with spicy hints. In the mouth it is warm and soft, with excellent freshness and non-overpowering tannins, the finish evoking the fruity and floral sensations perceived on the nose. This is a Rosso di Montalcino of great versatility in food-wine pairing, as approachable with boards of cheeses and medium-aged cured meats as with first and second courses of various meats.
