THE WINES OF “BENVENUTO BRUNELLO 2021” RETURN ON THE 16TH AND 17TH OF MAY 

SELECTED MEMBERS OF THE ITALIAN AND FOREIGN PRESS IN MONTALCINO TO ATTEND A TWO-DAY TASTING EVENT IN COMPLETE SAFETY

(Montalcino SI, 13 May 2021). One hundred and forty estates, 25 Italian journalists and 12 food and wine experts from eight different countries. These are the numbers of “Benvenuto Brunello 2021”, the two-day tasting event reserved for the press by the Consorzio del vino Brunello di Montalcino, scheduled to take place on Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th of May. The stars of the event are the already iconic Brunello di Montalcino 2016 and Brunello Riserva 2015, which will be joined in the tastings by Rosso di Montalcino 2019, Moscadello and Sant'Antimo. 

“Following the excellent experience of Benvenuto Brunello OFF, we are back once again to propose an event which can be attended in person, in complete safety”, explains the Chairman of the Consorzio del vino Brunello di Montalcino, Fabrizio Bindocci. “This is a programme of tastings reserved for the press; with a limited number of attendees that allows us to continue with the presentation of the new vintages and the wines of our denomination. A crucial promotional activity for the entire territory, which is finally able to welcome back not only the national press but also journalists from Russia, Germany, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway”. 

The appointment with “Benvenuto Brunello” is part of the week of Tuscan “Anteprime” and will be passing the baton to the Brunello Wine Stage on the 19th of May, for the return of the Giro d'Italia to Montalcino, after an absence of 11 years.
