Montalcino vote: keep Rosso 100% Sangiovese

Tuscany: rural scene

Very good news that yesterday the Montalcino producers decisively rejected the proposal to allow Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah to be added to Rosso di Montalcino – currently 100% Sangiovese. The vote was 69% against with only 31% in favour. See report here.
