This single-vineyard expression of Sangiovese boats a beautiful, dark ruby color. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneto Manachiara is a robust and shapely wine. The bouquet offers dark cherry, cassis, cola, tobacco and grilled rosemary twig. But like the others wines from Tenute Silvio Nardi released this year, there is a bitter or sour note that stands out against the more delicate flavor profile of the wine. My hope is that it will find better integration with time.
