Map of the area

Nardi estate
The estate of Silvio Nardi was created in 1950 when Silvio Nardi purchased 1,216 hectares of land in the lovely and unspoiled area of Montalcino.

Silvio was an early innovator in the agricultural machinery industry - his Nardi tractors and farm equipment are still sold all over the world. Although he was dedicated to his estate and planted vineyards with the indigenous Sangiovese grape, quality of the wine took a second position to quantity.

In 1990, Emilia Nardi, the youngest daughter of Silvio took over the estate and quickly realized its untapped potential. With vineyards in three areas, on the hills around Casale del Bosco, north on the Tenuta di Bibbiano, and southeast at Manachiara, she took a position to dramatically improve the quality of Nardi wines. She has invested single-mindedly in the vineyards in this harmonious natural setting - as any tasting of her fine wines will attest. Each of her signature wines expresses the differing character of Sangiovese when it is grown at Montalcino.

Today, Tenute Silvio Nardi is unquestionably one of the leaders in the area of Montalcino.

The Tenute Silvio Nardi is divided into thirty six vineyards sub-divided into three different estates situated in three main areas:

  • Casale del Bosco – the heart of the company – to the west
  • Manachiara and Colombaiolo, both to the east of Montalcino at 375 m above sea level
Owners:
Nardi Family

Winemaker:
Mauro Monicchi –oenologist; Pasquale Presutto - oenologist; Prof. Yves Glories-consultant oenologist

Total Acres:
80 hectares (planted with vines).

Soil:
Generally composed of clayey substrates with sandy and muddy intercalations. On the terraces near Casale del Bosco, which are probably of fluvial and tectonic origin, there are shallow but cool bare soils over jasper.
In the area of Manachiara the soils lay on top of clays and siltstone-marl with calcareous intercalations and sands rich in quartz.
The lands are not very deep but are well-structured with medium inclines and weak erosion.

Varietals Planted:
Sangiovese. In 8 out of the 80 hectares, different varieties can be found: Colorino, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot.
