Description
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio Doria, 15% ABV, produced by Tenute Silvio Nardi, a historic Tuscan winery. 100% Sangiovese, 2012 vintage. A Brunello born from the passion of Silvio Nardi, a pioneer in Montalcino, and the care of his daughter Emilia. Aged for 18 months in French oak tonneaux and 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. The nose opens broadly, with mineral notes of graphite, fruity notes of red berries, and spicy notes, with clove and vanilla predominating. Ruby red in color with garnet highlights. The flavors are enhanced by length and balance, with soft and persistent notes leading to a refined finish characterized by dense and velvety tannins.

In 1958, when the Brunello Consortium didn't exist yet and Montalcino was but a small unknown village, the first Brunello bottle came from the cellars of Casale del Bosco. Today, we can affirm that Silvio Nardi was the first "foreigner" to invest in the Montalcino.
In 1962, the Manachiara Estate was bought, with its 40 hectares of vineyards, near Castelnuovo dell'Abate, 25 km from Casale del Bosco. The Manachiara vineyards give their name today to the company's precious Brunello cru of the same name.
In 1967 Silvio Nardi was one of the founders of the Brunello di Montalcino wine Consortium.
In 1990 Emilia Nardi, Silvio's youngest daughter, took over the management of the company. She introduced radical changes in the process of wine production and company management and embarked on a process of restructuring both the vineyards and the cellar, choosing to combine tradition with scientific research.
