Description
What kind of wine it is
Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Doria by Tenute Silvio Nardi is a still red wine that expresses the most authentic soul of Sangiovese. It stands out for its dense structure, supported by thick and velvety tannins that offer a deep and balanced sip. Its elegant nature makes it the ideal pairing for elaborate meat dishes, noble game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the Poggio Doria vineyard located in Casale del Bosco, on the Montalcino side. The rows benefit from an optimal west-facing exposure, a characteristic that gives this label the nickname “wine of the sunset”. The soils, rich in jasper, sand and clay, define a unique terroir, which is expressed in the glass with a clear mineral note of graphite.
How it is produced
Vinification involves prolonged maceration at a controlled temperature. Ageing takes place for eighteen months in French oak barrels, followed by a year in large Slavonian oak casks. A further rest in the bottle allows the red fruit notes to blend harmoniously with the spicy nuances of vanilla and cloves.

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.
