Tenute Silvio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino 2016 1.5L Magnum

A refined Brunello with intense red berry aromas layered with leather and incense. The palate is full and structured, showing rich cherry fruit, firm yet elegant tannins, and a persistent finish. Its balance of ripe fruit, savory depth, and polished structure creates a classic Montalcino expression.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with braised beef short ribs, wild mushroom risotto, or aged Pecorino cheese.

95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino has aromatics of savory dried herbs, black plum, cola, and stony earth. The palate is fruit forward and full of ripe cherry, balsamic, and iron rich minerality. There are silky tannins that emerge from its fruit, along with balanced acidity. Though it is open and generous now, there is lots of life for this to unfold over time. Drink 2024-2034.

95 Points - James Suckling

A creamy and juicy Brunello with dried-berry, peach and dusty-earth character. It's full-bodied, chewy and very intense. Lots of fruit, yet reserved and toned with tannins that stay with you throughout. Give it at least three of four years to open. Try after 2024.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Tenute Silvio Nardi 2016 Brunello di Montalcino makes a big impact in the glass thanks to its dark color saturation and the pretty intensity of its aromas that range from dark fruit and plum to soft potting soil and grilled herb. You get beautiful balance here, even more so when you allow the bottle to breathe for a few hours. A twofold delivery of freshness and tannic backbone gives the wine the DNA required to hold 10 years or more.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of French oak, menthol and dark spice form the nose. Full bodied and linear, the palate features licorice, vanilla, cherries marinated in spirits and coffee bean alongside tightly wound, close-grained tannins that grip the lean finish. Drink 2024-2031.
