Two estates, two slopes, West and East eight plots, several terroirs... The finesse and identity that Sangiovese grosso expresses in each vineyard of the two estates, so different in their soils and climates, are undeniable. Manachiara, exposed to the east where sun rises, offers full bodied and powerful wines. Casale del Bosco, in the west side where sun goes down, offers elegant and complex wines. For the very uniqueness of its orographic position, with its four slopes characterized by specific climate and extremely different soils, Montalcino claims to be the best area for Sangiovese to express its viticulture characteristics. Thanks to Brunello achievements, Montalcino acquires once and for all a wide international reputation and becomes one of the best wine- growing areas in the world. Innovation is a term that characterises the entire history of Tenute Silvio Nardi, where the whole production process today has been shaped by thoroughgoing knowledge of its estate vineyards.
