A vineyard expanse of over 4,300 ha in the district of Montalcino; 214 companies representing over 98% of the production of Brunello; and a production and quality pyramid that, besides Brunello di Montalcino, the prince of Tuscan reds, also includes Rosso di Montalcino, Moscadello and Sant’Antimo.
This is a snapshot of the Consorzio del vino Brunello di Montalcino, the producers’ association for the denomination, charged with enhancing the quality and the brand that connects Brunello with Montalcino, and Montalcino with Brunello, throughout the world.
Founded in 1967 after the granting of the initial DOC qualification (elevated to DOCG status in 1980), the Consortium is involved in numerous promotional and regulatory initiatives. From planting protocols to yield assessment, from national and international promotional activities to projects on social responsibility, the Consorzio plays a key role in consolidating the quality and name of Brunello and creating synergies between the different elements of the local agricultural and food chain.
