Note di degustazione
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is lifted with aromas of licorice, red plum, thyme and dried roses. The palate lends more subtlety with tea leaf, dried cherry, and blood orange, with tannins that build through the finish. Drink 2021-2031. Silvio Nardi was one of twelve historic founding members of the Consozio del Brunello di Montalcino in 1967. The estate consists of two properties, those of the original holdings established in 1950 of Casale del Bosco in the northwest, and Manachiara in the southeast acquired in 1962. The team is currently overseen by Silvio’s daughter, Emilia Nardi. Since the early 1990’s they have implemented extensive research into zonation of the region, clonal selections of the estate, and vineyard replanting with an emphasis on sustainability and low-impact vineyard practices. Each of their 50 parcels are fermented separately prior to blending and being aged in tonneaux and large casks, under the eye of oenologist consultant, Eric Boissenot.

Beautifully polished and bright, the Tenute Silvio Nardi 2015 Brunello di Montalcino offers a textbook rendition from this slightly warm vintage. The wine sketches out classic lines with a generous and full array of Sangiovese aromas. These range from wild fruit and dried cherry to tilled earth, cola and balsam herb. There's a pretty note of blue flower or lilac as well for added elegance. The finish is smooth with integrated tannins and balanced acidity. All the elements work harmoniously here and would be nicely accentuated by a spezzatino di maiale, or pork shoulder slow-cooked with tomato, shallots, red wine and peas.
The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino presents a dark and brooding display of crushed strawberry and cherry, with savory herbs and moist earth tones, as a hint of animal muskiness adds intrigue. On the palate, soft, fleshy textures are contrasted by a mix of tart red fruits, spice, and saline minerals, as hints of fine tannin settle on the senses. The finish is long and structured, with a tingling buzz of acid and minerals, as hints of dried red berries are slowly fading. I have to wonder if the fruit will hold up long enough for these tannins to fully resolve; yet to be perfectly honest, even with its austere finish, the 2015 Silvio Nardi Brunello is already very easy to like.
Tasted blind. Lustrous mid ruby. Lifted, aromatic cherry and very ripe raspberry fruit on the nose. Sweet and yet not fully open on the palate with a mellow edge on the finish that makes it look a little too easy-going in spite of the plentiful tannins on the finish. Could be a little more energetic. (WS)
