Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, Chianti colli Senesi
Silvio Nardi bought the estate in 1950 at Casale del Bosco; since 1985 it has been run by his youngest daughter, Emilia.
The estate’s vineyards are situated between 140 and 420 metres above sea level: some extend north-west of Montalcino on the hills around Casale del Bosco, while others are located in the south-east at Manachiara, where the precious cru of the same name originates.
36 vineyards of an untouched and beautiful territory and they aim to express in his products the essence this beautiful Montalcino.
