The labour of men on this land has always been carried out with the most absolute respect of the environment; this makes the territory of Montalcino a kind of unaltered monument despite the world-wide fame of the product of its cultivation. Even though Brunello is a relatively new wine, born at the end of 1800, it is already from the beginning of the XIII century, in fact, that some documents witness the deep viticulture vocation of the area. The fame of this important wine, started in the former century during the thirties, broke out in the sixties when D.O.C. was conferred on Brunello. One of the most rigorous disciplinaries , tutored by the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino, has allowed Brunello to become, in 1980, the first Italian wine to obtain the appellation D.O.C.G.. Brunello takes differet characteristics depending on the area in which the vine sangiovese grosso is grown, exclusively delimitated by the boundaries of the municipality of Montalcino. These differences are so clear that nowadays it is possible to speak about different kinds of Brunello: it is therefore up to the consumer to select the Brunello di Montalcino suiting best personal tastes and expectations.
