As many as 11 labels out of 103 speak of Montalcino and its most important product. The 2015 edition of Vinitaly opens with a bang for Brunello wine, with the Preview promoted by VeronaFiere-Wine Spectator. King of Sangiovese, excellence of Italian wines, and nectar most appreciated by Americans, Brunello is indeed the most represented denomination, with 11 labels on a total of 103, present at the “Opera Wine” tasting, the event of events at Vinitaly 2015, which celebrates the 100 cult producers of Italy. The 10 Brunello labels were interviewed by Montalcinonews during the tasting. “Being present is important because this is a springboard for exports”, states Emilia Nardi (Tenute Silvio Nardi), and Vincenzo Abruzzese (Valdicava) adds that this is: “an event for real producers, for a marvellous territory and a wine like Brunello, which interprets the character of our land”. Giancarlo Pacenti (Siro Pacenti) affirms: “a top level event that ensures an excellent return on image for the wineries involved”. Francesco Marone Cinzano (Col d’Orcia) then speaks about the markets: “it is a showcase that attracts great interest for old and new foreign markets”, and his words are echoed by Lamberto Frescobaldi (Luce della Vite): “the highly selected and focussed operators present make this a very important event”, Tancredi Biondi Santi (Tenuta Greppo Biondi Santi): “the prestige of the magazine stirs the international press and turns this event into an exceptional showcase”, Alessandro Bindocci (Il Poggione): “an important event with outstanding guests”, and Andrea Machetti (Mastrojanni) “a prestigious parterre, I am honoured to be part of it every year”… The labels present since the first edition include Giacomo Neri (Casanova di Neri) who states that “being here is an honour, a pleasure, but also a confirmation” and Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini with Altesino: “it is a great honour to be here, a reward to the work we have done over the years”.
