Benvenuto Brunello: Trip Planning Guide
Montalcino, Italy
Going to Benvenuto Brunello?
The annual presentation of the new Brunello di Montalcino vintage. Held in Montalcino's medieval fortress, all consortium members present their wines for evaluation. The event includes a vintage assessment and press conferences on quality. A must for serious Brunello collectors and wine trade professionals.
Your trip blueprint
Skip the main public sessions and network with smaller producers during the afternoon tastings—they're more candid about vintage variation and aging potential. Seek out the younger estates like Barbi or Lisini who often offer the most insightful pourings outside the formal press circus.
