To sit with Emilia is like sitting with the Queen...but somehow even queen sounds almost diminutive for her role. Makes her sound like she is sitting on a throne handing out directives. Nothing could be further from the truth.
When you visit Napa, you cannot help but be struck by the magnanimous structures and opulent wineries. This is not the case when you drive to Silvio Nardi in Montalcino. Quite the opposite. A 17th century building with understated details houses this humble and elegant winery. Emilia is that too; humble and elegant. After the tour, she sat for lunch and took the time to explain in further detail the history and the vision of Silvio Nardi wines.
Have a listen to this woman of Montalcino.
