Francesca Colombini e Donatella Cinelli Colombini al Premio Casato Prime Donne 2016
The 2023 edition of the Casato Prime Donne Award, scheduled for September 16TH , was dedicated to Francesca Colombini Cinelli, whom I would like to remember here with you.
The initiative was born with the name Premio Barbi Colombini thanks to my mother, in 1981, to bring the interest of the press on Montalcino and Brunello, but also to create new contacts, in the belief that the relationship with great cultural personalities would open minds and would stimulate new energy in the whole territory.
Over the years it has given a boost to the growth of Montalcino and, in 1999, the Award was transformed into a promoter of female talent, and since last year it has added to its previous activity that of incubator of young talents.
