Tenute Silvio Nardi - Brunello di Montalcino 1997 (750ml) CoreCritical Acclaim 92 points Wine Enthusiast Emilia Nardi, daughter of Silvio Nardi, is doing all the right things at this huge estate, especially with the development of clonal selection and denser planting of the vines. Her 1997 is a modern, new wood dominated wine, but it also shows beautifully judged ripe fruits and sweet acidity. The overall effect is of great elegance, with good long term aging potential.
