150MILA EURO AD AZIENDA IL FINANZIAMENTO ANTICRISI BINDOCCI: RIPENSARE IL CREDITO A PARTIRE DALLA VALORIZZAZIONE DELLE SCORTE DI VINO (Montalcino, 1° luglio 2020). Convenzione tra il Consorzio del vino Brunello di Montalcino e Credem per l’attivazione, da oggi, di una nuova linea di credito in favore di tutte le aziende socie del territorio. “Si tratta – ha detto il presidente del Consorzio del vino Brunello di Montalcino, Fabrizio Bindocci - di una prima misura pensata per gestire l’emergenza immediata e per preservarci da eventuali distorsioni del mercato alla vigilia della nuova vendemmia. Un primo paracadute, a cui seguiranno azioni innovative a partire da prestiti garantiti dalle scorte di vino – che a Montalcino valgono circa 350 milioni di euro – attraverso fondi rotativi o altre formule idonee a garanzia delle nostre 210 aziende socie”. 

(Montalcino, 26 June 2020). Italians, high-spending, lovers of taste and nature. This is the identikit of the tourists targeted by Montalcino for the summer of 2020, now that the area's wine estates are reopening their doors and hospitality in this iconic Tuscan village, which recorded over 180,000 overnight stays by both Italians and foreigners in 2019, visiting specifically for its wines, is up and running again. One of the epicentres of wine tourism, Montalcino's wineries that open to visitors (by reservation and in complete safety) have teamed up with hospitality operators: one for every 35 residents, including hotels, country guesthouses, wine relais, restaurants, bars and cafés and, of course, winemakers, all looking forward to welcoming the increasing demand from Italians, more and more of whom are deciding to “staycation”.

(Montalcino, 10 June 2020). Effective July, Michele Fontana will be the new director of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino, taking over from Giacomo Pondini, in office since January 2016. Fontana currently serves as Executive Director of the Castello di Meleto winery and brings experience with the Consorzio del Vino Chianti Classico.  "Although this is a moment of great uncertainty for the entire sector, we are confident that in welcoming Michele Fontana we are opening a highly constructive collaboration,” said Fabrizio Bindocci, consortium Chairman. “Challenging times still await the Montalcino denomination and territory, but also positive ones. All of the wineries and the entire Board of the Consorzio extend their thanks to Giacomo Pondini,” concluded Bindocci, “for his constant commitment, for the activities completed, and for the results achieved under his direction.”
