Boldness and wisdom are not antonyms, by any means, but are concepts unrelated enough that they are difficult to capture in a single word.
I think dauntless is a pretty good fit, however. Although it doesn't include wisdom, exactly, it implies a mental or spiritual as well as physical fortitude.
Per oxford dictionary (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/dauntless):
daunt·less
[ˈdôntləs, ˈdäntləs]
ADJECTIVE
showing fearlessness and determination.
"dauntless bravery"
synonyms:
fearless · determined · resolute · indomitable · intrepid · doughty · plucky · spirited · game · mettlesome · gritty · steely · confident · undaunted · undismayed · unalarmed
