Note di degustazione
Tenute Silvio Nardi is an estate worth visiting. It occupies one of the most extreme locations in the appellation, tucked away into the hills north of the town in a wild no-man's-land of its own. Once you get there, there is a cozy, warm feeling, with vineyards carved out of the surrounding Mediterranean shrub oaks and forests. If you taste forest floor, button mushroom and wild flowers in the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino, you could easily imagine this magical place. This is a silky, mid-weight Brunello with a cool-climate character (which is preserved despite the hot vintage). An ample 114,000 bottles are hitting the market now.

Just mid ruby. Pronounced, sweet-spice nose. Brooding fruit underneath chewy tannins. Elegant constitution and with just enough fruit. (WS)
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is intensely dark and moody, as crushed ashen stone gives way to savory herbs and cherry sauce. On the palate, this is more lifted and energetic than anticipated, with vibrant acidity enlivening the rich red fruits and spices. That said, the 2017 is also a bit one-dimensional, leaving notes of inner rose, mocha and hard candies to linger through the structured finale.
