Label / history
This was the first wine produced by Silvio Nardi and debuted in 1958, eight years after Silvio Nardi acquired Casale del Bosco. Emilia Nardi took over from her father in 1990 and subsequently restructured the vineyards and cellars, introduced an innovative approach to the estate’s established traditions, and organized scientific research.
