This weekend we attended the Benvenuto Brunello manifestation in Montalcino. It's an annual event organized by the Consorzio and all the producers of Brunello are invited to come into the Fortress of Montalcino to present their newly released vintages. This year's release was the Brunello '03 (there were no Riserva's as the '02 vintage didn't allow for it).
I decided to go and ask the winery owners and producers 4 questions. I regret that I didn't ask a fifth question related to the recent sponsorship that the Consorzio has received from the car company FIAT. In fact, the yearly artistic tile hung up in Montalcino at this time has FIAT written all over it. However, I decided not to become too political and to stick to my original questions.
Question number 1:
In a few words, how would you describe the tipicity of Brunello?
