Er mag niets veranderen aan de Rosso di Montalcino. Met grote meerderheid van stemmen hebben de producenten binnen het Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino dat besloten. Dus geen andere rassen mengen met de Sangiovese, geen aangepaste wetgeving en geen irrigatie. Ook beter voor de commercie, vinden ze daar. Lees hoe er werd gestemd.

Montalcino's producers have overwhelmingly rejected proposals to change Rosso di Montalcino's production code.

According to a Decanter.com report, the proposals put forward by the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino were to allow other grapes in Rosso di Montalcino, permit irrigation and change current vineyard regulations.
The majority of Consorzio members attended the Assembly, and 69% voted against changing Rosso di Montalcino.
Voting rights is dependant on winery size. Small to medium-sized wineries had an average of 3 votes each, while the biggest wineries had up to 60 votes depending on the year and bottle numbers.
The landslide victory left most producers buoyant. “This is an important milestone for Montalcino’s producers who work so hard to create unique, terroir-driven wines from Sangiovese,” said Gigliola Gorelli of Tenute Le Potazzine, at Brunello’s.
Col d’Orcia’s Francesco Marone Cinzano said, Montalcino’s producers have once again spoken out in favour of protecting the pedigree of our wines.
“But I am very upset over the amount of time, effort and expense this call for a vote has cost everyone here in Montalcino. There was no logic or planning to their proposals, they just decided to call for the vote,” Cinzano said.
Jacopo Biondi Santi, who distributes his father Franco's Brunellos along with his own Castello di Montepo, supported the 'no' vote.
He said, “Thankfully Montalcino made the right decision yesterday, not only in terms of image, but in commercial terms. These proposals would have led to many more vines registered to Rosso production, and they would have saturated the market.”
Consorzio board member Fabrizio Bindocci said, “Montalcino has lost a great opportunity to have two Rossos that would have satisfied all markets. But this was a democratic vote, done by secret ballot, and the producers have spoken. At least now we know what route to take for the future.”
