2018 Poggio Nardone Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Founded in 1996 by the dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Tiziano and Alessandra Ciacci, Poggio Nardone is a true testament to the power of vision and perseverance. The estate shares a border with the famed Mocali vineyard in the heart of the Tavernelle region of Montalcino. But its story began much earlier. Alessandra’s grandfather, one of the 25 founding members of the Consorzio del Brunello di Montalcino, set the groundwork by carefully documenting the prime vineyard locations in this region. Years later, Tiziano and Alessandra uncovered his meticulous notes, which allowed them to rediscover the estate's original boundaries—an overgrown vineyard waiting to be resurrected.

Since then, the Ciacci family has poured their hearts into restoring Poggio Nardone, focusing on cultivating the very best Sangiovese grapes in one of the most ideal locations in Montalcino. With vineyards nestled at elevations of 350 to 450 meters above sea level, surrounded by forests of oak, holm oak, and strawberry trees, the land here has been a perfect marriage of nature’s gifts and human dedication. The soils—rich in marl and limestone—impart a unique minerality to the wines that can’t be replicated anywhere else. 

Poggio Nardone has already earned numerous accolades and critical acclaim for its commitment to excellence. This estate is often celebrated for its precise winemaking methods, which showcase the expressive character of their terroir. The wines of Poggio Nardone are not just highly sought after—they are coveted, and their Brunello stands proudly alongside some of the finest in Montalcino.

The 2018 Poggio Nardone is not only an exceptional example of Brunello—it’s also a rare opportunity to own a piece of Montalcino’s most respected estates. The estate’s small size (less than 10 hectares) means that every bottle is a limited-edition treasure, meticulously crafted from some of the finest Sangiovese vines in the world. This is not just a wine; it’s an investment in quality, tradition, and heritage.

For those who appreciate the art of wine, this is an unmissable bottle. With its deep roots in the land and a clear vision of the future, Poggio Nardone is creating wines that will continue to shape the legacy of Montalcino for generations to come.
