On the palate, it reveals a warm and notably structured profile, supported by \u003cstrong\u003epresent yet smooth tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensure excellent persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this label are grown in Montalcino, Tuscany, in the vineyards of Tenute Silvio Nardi. The vines grow at around 350 metres above sea level, with a favourable exposure that ensures optimal temperatures for the ripening of the Sangiovese. The \u003cstrong\u003esoils rich in jasper\u003c\/strong\u003e and the presence of \u003cstrong\u003eclay schists\u003c\/strong\u003e give the wine its characteristic and robust flavour profile. The vineyards are cultivated using the \u003cstrong\u003espurred cordon system\u003c\/strong\u003e, an agronomic choice that ensures balanced growth and careful selection of the grape bunches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest is carried out entirely by hand starting from the third week of September. In the winery, fermentation and maceration last for at least twenty days at a controlled temperature, allowing for a gradual extraction of colour and tannic components. The \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in wood\u003c\/strong\u003e involves twelve months in second-use French oak barrels, followed by a further year in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e. A subsequent \u003cstrong\u003erest in bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least six months completes the process, refining the aromatic profile before tasting, which is recommended at a temperature of 18-20 °C after decanting for a couple of hours.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1954, Tenute Silvio Nardi signs this sublime \u003cstrong\u003eBrunello di Montalcino DOCG 2008\u003c\/strong\u003e.
