Nardi Brunello di Montalcino Vigneto Manachiara 2015

Deep ruby red in color, this single-vineyard Brunello displays aromas of black cherry, wild rose, tobacco, crushed stone, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied and structured with layers of dark fruit, mineral complexity, and refined tannins supported by vibrant acidity. The finish is long, powerful, and exceptionally elegant.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with braised beef, bistecca alla Fiorentina, lamb shanks, wild game, truffle dishes, and aged Pecorino cheese.

96 Points - James Suckling

There’s real finesse and focus to this red with floral, berry and wet-earth undertones on the nose and palate. Full body, integrated tannins and a long and focused finish. Shows a linear and precise palate. Excellent. Drink now or hold.

95+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The bouquet opens to wild rose and cherry, but there is a unique mineral tone that recalls slate or crushed granite. Subtle spice and milled white pepper give length and complexity to this beautifully balanced Brunello. This is a terrific wine from the lovely 2015 vintage.

94 Points - Wine Spectator

Rich and dense, featuring sweet, ripe black cherry, plum and earth flavors. The immediate gratification is swept away by dense and muscular, yet refined, tannins. The sweet fruit returns on the long finish. Best from 2023 through 2040.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Ripe berry, dark spice, coconut and toasted notes form the nose. The full-bodied palate is shy on fruit richness, evoking dried cherry, star anise and roasted coffee bean alongside dense, close-grained tannins that leave a drying close. Drink 2022–2027.
