The Brunello di Montalcino Wine Consortium starts again from the United States, flying to New York on February 4 for the star-studded edition of Benvenuto Brunello. The appointment with the new 2020 Vintage and the 2019 Riserva of the prince of Tuscan red wines is on 40th Street, where at GH on the Park in Manhattan 34 producers will meet more than 450 U.S. operators and press. "In a general context of great uncertainty for the wine market, it is crucial for us to continue to preside over our main marketplace, where we allocate more than 30% of our exports," comments Brunello di Montalcino Wine Consortium President Fabrizio Bindocci. In 2024 domestic sales of Brunello marked a further growth (+2% in value according to the UIV Observatory based on SipSource) in countertendency with market averages, but 2025 opens with many pitfalls: on the one hand the discussion on labels with health alerts, on the other the specter of the duties announced by President Trump. This is why the Benvenuto Brunello USA appointment holds particular importance". To open Benvenuto Brunello New York, the walk-around tasting with the wineries is scheduled for 11 a.m.-4 p.m. In the glasses, in addition to the new vintages of Brunello, there will also be the Rosso di Montalcino 2023.
