Tenute Silvio Nardi Poggio Doria Brunello Di Montalcino 2016 750ml
Description
Poggio Doria sits like a crown atop Silvio Nardi’s estate, capturing every photon of Tuscan sunshine. In the miraculous 2016 vintage, this single vineyard produced Brunello that redefines the possible. When perfect site meets perfect year, even experienced tasters run out of superlatives.
This vineyard’s southern exposure and poor soils create natural concentration, while elevation maintains crucial freshness. The 2016 vintage, with its ideal weather from start to finish, allowed Poggio Doria to express its full potential. The result is Brunello of almost shocking completeness.
The aromatics present a symphony in full crescendo. Roses and violets provide the high notes, while dark cherry and plum create the melody. Supporting bass notes of leather, tobacco, and earth ground the composition, while exotic spices add harmonic complexity. It’s a performance that demands encore after encore.
On the palate, Poggio Doria demonstrates why 2016 is legendary. The structure is massive yet perfectly proportioned, like a cathedral built from tannins. Fruit concentration reaches extraordinary levels while maintaining energy and lift. The finish seems to echo for minutes, leaving traces of perfume and spice.
Silvio Nardi’s 2016 Poggio Doria stands among the vintage’s greatest achievements. It’s Brunello that will be remembered, discussed, and revered for generations. For those seeking a definitive expression of what Montalcino can achieve in a perfect year, this is your answer.
