The Consorzio del Vino Brunello Di Montalcino organizes an annual Brunello Tasting event in New York City celebrating the release of the latest vintage of Brunello and for the first time ever Il Palazzone will be participating. The event will be held at Gotham Hall on Monday January 27th with the public tasting portion going from 1-6pm. Over 30 other top Montalcino producers will be previewing their 2009 Brunello, rated a 4 Star Vintage by the Consorzio. We all have a lot to celebrate!

Il Palazzone is very proud to introduce our 2009 Brunello as well as pour a vertical tasting of 5 vintages of Brunello going back to 2005, all 4 or 5 star rated vintages. Additionally, we are happy to announce our new partnership with Domenico Valentino Imports who will also be our distributor in New York and New Jersey. We are excited to be part of their terrific collection of Italian wineries and will officially be selling our wines through them starting February 1st. They will have multiple vintages of our Brunello and are bringing in both the 2008 and 2009 vintages for the first time to the U.S. These latest vintages are expected to land in the U.S. in early March.Finally, I am very excited to be part of the small team of people that work behind the scenes to get the word out about this incredible winery. I look forward to meeting existing friends of Il Palazzone and Domenico Valentino as well as making new ones. It is an exciting time for us, and hope you can join us next week at Benvenuto Brunello!
