Manachiara
Manachiara means "bright morning".
Manachiara is the wine from the East, the wine of morning light, the estate of the most ancient clones cradle. In this estate, bought by Silvio Nardi in 1962, we produce the precious Brunello cru taking its name from the homonymous vineyard. It is composed by three parcels: Colombaiolo, Manachiara e Pinzale.
