Montalcino, 20 October 2008 - The Public Prosecutor's Office of Siena has ordered the release of the Brunello di Montalcino 2003 by Castello Banfiafter determining full compliance with the product specification.
The 2003 vintage is therefore once again fully available to meet the numerous requests that had come in from all over the world and remained unanswered during the months of the investigation phase. The next 2004 vintage will, as usual, be regularly available from February 2009.
