A cold and snowy February day in New York City was not going to get in the way of experiencing the current and next releases of Brunello di Montalcino wines hosted by Consorzio Del Vino Brunello di Montalcino, and held at 583 Park Avenue in the heart of New York City. Â I looked forward to the Benvenuto Brunello NY event to sample the latest releases alongside other denomination wines of the territory. With just under 200 bottles to be experienced, it took some planning and attention to swirl, sip, and spit to work my way through the lineup of wines. With the directory of vendors and the layout in hand, it was time to start my wine tasting adventure. Cheers!

One of the big takeaways, as I moved through the different vendors, was that the 2021 harvest was one of the best across Montalcino. So, keep that in mind as you look for your next bottle of Brunello di Montalcino wine.
The Consortium of Brunello di Montalcino was founded in 1967, just after the DOC designation, as a free association of vignerons whose aim was to safeguard their product and emphasize its best qualities. The Consortium has fostered bringing together old and new wineries, small and large alike, united by the common goals of respect for nature and the desire to make the best quality wine.
