When I hear these numbers, as I stand in her impossibly beautiful vineyards scribbling notes, my mouth gapes. Emilia smiles and nods knowingly, reading my mind as she adds, \u201cIf you aren\u2019t a bit crazy and don\u2019t like risk, then you cannot be a winemaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I can assure you she is not at all crazy. In fact, she is very much like her wines: elegant and precise, bold and refined. At first glance\u00a0she\u00a0appears to be the very picture of tranquility and ease, farming grapes on a quiet Tuscan hillside. Yet, beneath the quiet is Emilia\u2019s attentive never-ending effort to manage the risks of making wine\u2014an effort that started when she was just out of her teenage years.<\/p>\n<h2>From Love Delusion to Wine Love Story<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14937\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14937\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14937\" src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Emilia_Nardi_6.jpg\" alt=\"Emilia Nardi\" width=\"350\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Emilia_Nardi_6.jpg 350w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Emilia_Nardi_6-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Emilia_Nardi_6-114x150.jpg 114w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Emilia_Nardi_6-175x231.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14937\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emilia Nardi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Driving up the steep hillside adjacent to her vineyards, Emilia, in her pearls and silk, deftly maneuvers the truck over a gutted, dirt road and explains that her winemaking life really began with a rocky romance gone awry. At the ripe age of 20, deep in the throes of what she calls a \u201clove delusion,\u201d Emilia was compelled by her parents to <strong>return home and take up residence at the family\u2019s struggling wine estate<\/strong> in the remote and quiet town of Montalcino. She shakes her head at the memory, \u201cThe business was in terrible shape, but imagine coming out here at that young age.\u201d She sweeps her arm out, over wild, barren vineyard slopes adding with a sigh, \u201cWhen you are 20 you want rock n\u2019 roll, not wheat fields, farming, and vineyards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, what she got was an estate of olive trees, vines, and wild boars for company and a deeply struggling family business. \u201cThe estate was losing money because no one was taking care of things in a serious way. There really was no one on site to oversee things, so that person became me.\u201d She began as a secretary, but also as a set of eyes to watch the business. \u201cI was young and there were a lot of things we had to do, so I told myself, <strong>\u2018roll up your sleeves and get to work.\u2019<\/strong>\u201d Her attitude was no surprise to her large family says Emilia. \u201cMy siblings will say that since I was born I knew how to get what I needed. As the youngest of eight, everyone knew I would have to be in charge of something.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Prized Vineyard Land<\/h2>\n<div class=\"vestpocket\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_14936\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14936\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14936 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_1958_SILVIO_NARDI_at_CASALE_DEL_BOSCO_ESTATE.jpg\" alt=\"Silvio Nardi at Casale del Bosco in 1958\" width=\"350\" height=\"370\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_1958_SILVIO_NARDI_at_CASALE_DEL_BOSCO_ESTATE.jpg 350w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_1958_SILVIO_NARDI_at_CASALE_DEL_BOSCO_ESTATE-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_1958_SILVIO_NARDI_at_CASALE_DEL_BOSCO_ESTATE-142x150.jpg 142w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_1958_SILVIO_NARDI_at_CASALE_DEL_BOSCO_ESTATE-175x185.jpg 175w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 350px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 350\/370;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14936\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Silvio Nardi at Casale del Bosco in 1958<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The sprawling 200-acre Nardi estate was founded in 1949, shortly after her father, Silvio Nardi, who owned a successful farm equipment business based in Umbria, bought the land as country home and a place to rest. At the time, Montalcino was as sleepy Tuscan town, not known for world-class wines, and Nardi unwittingly purchased what ultimately become prized vineyard lands. After some urging from his new country neighbors, Nardi started cultivating grapes, making him the sixth official producer of Brunello in Montalcino\u2014essentially one of the region\u2019s founding fathers who just happened to live in Umbria.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was she given a herculean task of making the winery profitable, she inherited one of nature\u2019s most mercurial and unpredictable grape varieties: <strong>Sangiovese Grosso<\/strong>, also known as Brunello. I prefer to think of Brunello as something like a teenager\u2014changing personalities depending on the conditions. Paying constant attention to myriad little details is critical to success with this varietal. Emilia\u2019s trademark discipline and her detail-driven management style (witness her piles of 100-page ledgers stuffed with data on everything from pruning efforts, pest control treatments, and weather conditions for each year) are a natural fit for managing Brunello.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was she obsessed with daily details, Emilia put in 15 years of research and experimentation on her vines\u00a0as well. She and world-renowned viticulturist Andrea Paoletti and the late Yves Glories spent over a decade alone experimenting with\u00a0different\u00a0clones to ascertain which ones did best on her unique vineyard sites. In the end they discovered <strong>five Sangiovese clones that performed beautifully<\/strong>, ultimately lending more complexity to the final wines.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bold Brunello Personality<\/h2>\n<p>The original estate, Casale del Bosco (pictured in cover image), is located in northwestern Montalcino where cooling influences tend to make a more precise and polished wine; the other two estates, purchased years later, are in southeastern Montalcino. In this regard, <strong>Nardi has a distinct advantage<\/strong>\u2014her northwestern grapes lend her wines a precision and polish, an enviable freshness, not found in the more strapping southern wines where the sunshine and exposure are far more intense. Blending grapes from these two different areas\u2014mere miles apart but worlds of difference\u2014lends her Brunello a proprietary elegance others can only dream of.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14939\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14939 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Bosco_Estate_house.jpg\" alt=\"Casale del Bosco\" width=\"850\" height=\"575\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Bosco_Estate_house.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Bosco_Estate_house-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Bosco_Estate_house-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Bosco_Estate_house-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Bosco_Estate_house-175x118.jpg 175w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/nrd_Bosco_Estate_house-450x304.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 850px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 850\/575;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Casale del Bosco, the original estate house<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Making a legendary wine was not her father&#8217;s plan 65 years ago when he purchased the estate\u2014he wanted a place to rest and enjoy the countryside. Yet, it seems that rest is not really in the Nardi DNA. Today, decades later, <strong>her wines are considered to be some of the world\u2019s finest expressions of Brunello,<\/strong> attracting high scores from critics and praise from collectors. In 2004, Italy\u2019s Agricultural Ministry praised Nardi as a Female Agricultural Innovator and she is widely considered to be one of the pioneering leaders of winemaking in Brunello. Indeed, the five clones she researched\u2014Tenute Silvio Nardi 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5\u2014were ultimately approved by the Italian government for use by other Italian winemakers. Despite the praise and awards, she confesses that she feels like a farmer at heart. &#8220;I am a farmer, just a farmer, but I like the freedom this affords me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When given freedom, Emilia Nardi is rather unstoppable: one sip of her wine settles that.<\/p>\n<h2>The Nardi Wines<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tenute Silvio Nardi\u00a0<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/tenute-silvio-nardi-brunello-di-montalcino-manachiara-docg-2015\/\">Brunello di Montalcino Manachiara<\/a>: <\/strong>The grapes from this single vineyard wine are the estate\u2019s oldest at roughly 50 years old.
