AboutTenute Silvio Nardi
Tenute Silvio Nardi began in Montalcino when Silvio Nardi acquired Casale del Bosco in 1950. The first Brunello followed in 1954, and the purchase of Manachiara in 1962 established a second estate on the opposite side of the appellation. Casale del Bosco lies in north-west Montalcino and Manachiara in the south-east, with Sangiovese grown at both.
The house Brunello blends twenty separately made batches from the two estates, while Vigneto Manachiara comes from its namesake vineyard. Years of vineyard mapping and vine selection led to four estate Sangiovese clones entering Italy’s national register in 2019.
Nardi 2006 Brunello di Montalcino
Italian Red
$234.99
Bright full red colour appears with plum, currant, sour cherry, dried flowers, nuts and a suggestion of white fruit. The Sangiovese is silky on the palate, with intensity and subtle sweetness. Its shape is spherical and mouth-coating. The finish is chewy and saline, while the tannins are in harmony with the fruit. This Brunello comes from Tuscany.

Sangiovese from Casale del Bosco and Manachiara is blended from twenty separate vinifications. Grapes are hand harvested, then fermentation and maceration last twenty-eight days below twenty-eight degrees. Maturation lasts twenty-four months in large Slavonian oak, followed by eighteen months in bottle. The wine shows dark colour saturation, with dark fruit, plum, soft potting soil and grilled herb, alongside freshness and a tannic backbone.
Nardi Vigneto Manachiara 2016 Brunello di Montalcino
Italian Red
$329.99
Ripe blackberry and cassis open with dark chocolate, toasted oak and a clear mineral line. The palate is robust and concentrated, but precise acidity and velvety tannins keep the structure controlled. Spice and savoury detail build with air, giving the single-vineyard fruit both depth and definition. Full-bodied and persistent, it closes with polished power, mineral tension and a long, balanced finish.

Italian Red
$119.99
Black cherry and cassis lead a layered, savoury profile, joined by dried herbs, underbrush and toasted almond. The palate is composed and firmly balanced, with velvety tannins carrying the dark fruit into a persistent finish. Generous without excess, it is well suited to braised lamb, roast pork or aged pecorino.
