The Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino was created in 1967, immediately after the establishment of the D.O.C., as a voluntary association of producers who were seeking to foster the steadily increasing prestige of their wine. The Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino has shown itself in the intervening years to be a scrupulous and responsible instrument of self-discipline. It has also served as a catalyst for new and old, large and small estates so that efficient practices became a common strategy for success in terms of quality.
Perhaps, because of its geographical position, far from the crowded highways, or, perhaps, because of the purity of the air: Montalcino provides a host of stimuli for the imaginations of those who visit, involving them in that magical relation between man and nature.
Towards the end of the last century the first trails improved and exalted into a distinguished wine. Brunello, as it is still created today, the fruit of a tenacious dedication, during the years of ageing in the winery before it is presented to a world that has learned to love it. It is the end and beginning of a legend that each bottle renews.
