The Tenute Silvio Nardi 2020 Rosso di Montalcino is redolent of cherry, candied lilac and crushed aspirin or white stone. There is dried oregano or Mediterranean herb in this 27,000-bottle release. The wine reveals a very clean and concise personality that is perfectly suited as an easy-drinking Tuscan to drink with your favorite trattoria dishes.

I tasted this wine not too long before bottling. The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino is a beautifully linear and bright wine with a strong mineral backbone. Flint and ash are followed by balsam herb and rosemary sprig. There is plenty of dark cherry fruit as well, to round it off and soften it up.

The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino is a bright and mid-weight effort that shows balance and good intensity, albeit in a simple and streamlined fashion. Red cherry and dried raspberry rise from the bouquet, with rose hip and some balsam or medicinal herb as well. The wine's acidity is fresh and prominent. Some 50,000 bottles were produced.

The 2012 Rosso di Montalcino is a groomed and well-presented wine with no rough edges and loads of cushiony softness and ripe fruit. It boasts a thick, dark color and matching aromas of black cherry, Indian spice and dark rose. Its appearance is healthy and youthful with garnet highlights. Drink: 2014-2018.

The 2011 Rosso di Montalcino is soft, supple and expressive. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco and licorice are all woven together nicely in the glass. A sleek, racy Rosso, the 2011 is built for near-term enjoyment. Sweet, floral notes add lift on the polished, impeccable finish. Nardi’s Rosso does a great job of capturing the generosity of the year while maintaining plenty of freshness. Macerations for the Rossos lasted from 15-17 days, with the goal of gentle extractions, followed by six months in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016. I tasted a wide range of wines during my visit at Nardi, including several experimental bottlings that attest to the estate’s continued search for excellence. Some of the Nardi Brunellos remain works in progress, but the overall direction is quite positive. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7756
