Established in 1950, the estate has a rich history of winemaking, blending tradition with innovative techniques to produce wines of outstanding quality. With over 36 carefully tended vineyards spread across 80 hectares, the estate showcases the diverse terroir of Montalcino.

The winery’s journey began when Silvio Nardi, a passionate wine enthusiast, purchased the Casale del Bosco estate. Over time, the winery expanded, acquiring new vineyards and gaining a reputation for crafting wines with elegance and depth. Today, it remains family-owned, combining decades of expertise with a forward-thinking approach to winemaking.

At Tenute Silvio Nardi, attention to detail defines every step of the winemaking process. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo meticulous selection to ensure optimal quality. The wines are aged in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and smaller French barrels, striking the perfect balance between structure and finesse. This approach highlights the rich flavors and aromatic complexity characteristic of Brunello di Montalcino.

Sustainability is at the heart of the winery’s philosophy. Tenute Silvio Nardi employs eco-friendly practices, such as reducing chemical usage, enhancing biodiversity, and conserving natural resources. These efforts reflect a commitment to preserving the land for future generations.

In addition to its Brunello di Montalcino wines, the estate produces Rosso di Montalcino, showcasing a more approachable expression of the Sangiovese grape.
