Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Doria 2019

Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio Doria 2019 is a single-vineyard Brunello that captures the golden glow of Montalcino’s western slopes. Known as the “sunset wine” for its west-facing exposure, it offers a compelling mix of aromatic intensity, depth and elegance. This is a refined expression of 100% Sangiovese that marries classic Brunello structure with a modern sense of purity and polish.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Poggio Doria 2019 shows a deep, luminous ruby core with garnet reflections emerging toward the rim. The nose is immediately expressive, with notes of dried cherry, plum and blackcurrant layered over balsamic tones, dried herbs, leather and hints of sweet tobacco, rose petals and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet poised, with velvety, well-integrated tannins that glide across the tongue. Flavors of ripe red and black fruits intertwine with dried fig, orange peel, balsamic nuances and subtle savory hints, leading to a juicy, persistent finish. The structure and acidity suggest an excellent aging potential: while already approachable with some aeration, this 2019 Brunello should evolve beautifully over the next 10–15 years, gaining even more complexity and tertiary character.

Production
Poggio Doria is sourced from Tenute Silvio Nardi’s western-facing vineyards in the Montalcino area of Tuscany, where warm afternoon sun and well-drained soils help Sangiovese achieve optimal ripeness while retaining vibrancy. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure careful selection in the vineyard, followed by an additional sort in the cellar. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, allowing for a gentle extraction of color, aroma and tannin. The wine is then matured in a combination of large traditional casks and/or carefully selected oak barrels for several years, followed by bottle aging to refine the texture and harmonize the complex bouquet before release.

Food & Serving
This Brunello pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes such as slow-braised beef, lamb shank, ossobuco, game birds, and truffle-infused pasta or risotto. It also stands up well to aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight its aromatic detail and silky structure. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended in its youth to allow the wine to fully open and reveal its layered complexity.
