Tenuta Silvio Nardi’s Poggio Doria comes from a parcel, Oria, in their Casale del Bosco estate, which is located in the northwest portion of the Brunello zone. Volcanic soil here helps explain its firmness and tighter profile. Less approachable than Manachiara at this stage, it nonetheless demonstrates the power and elegance emblematic of Silvio Nardi’s wines. The most closed and unyielding of Nardi’s trio of Brunelli, it will be worth the decade or so wait. Nardi has produced an array of dazzling Brunelli in 2012.
