James Suckling loves Brunello and its producers very much. He is an honorary citizen of Montalcino and always has gestures of great friendship towards local wine makers. This year too he invited 60 producers to the party held in his Tuscan residence which was also attended by Violante Gardini Cinelli Colombini.

One of the things that has distinguished Suckling for many years is the desire to beat other critics to the punch and publish reviews first. Obviously, this has created emulation and the tastings of the tasters have been brought forward more and more compared to the date of release on the market of the new vintage which takes place on January 1st.

AMES SUCKLING AND BRUNELLO

Suckling speaks perfect Italian and lives between Italy, the United States, his native country,  and China where he has a beautiful wine shop. He organizes events in Asia and America attended by collectors of fine wines and wealthy wine lovers. Suckling is among the critics with the greatest international reputation and among the most active on social media (almost 400,000 followers on Instagram). Refined, very expert, hospitable and very active, James is attracted by everything that is exclusive and prestigious. His predilection is for wines of an imposing and sumptuous style.

THE CASATO PRIME DONNE AWARD AND THE  2022 NOVELTIES

Over the years the Casato Prime Donne Award, funded by the Montalcino winery of the same name, and the first in Italy to have an entirely female staff, has contributed to the affirmation of the new role and new contribution of women to society and the world of work. In the past it has been awarded to personalities of science such as the virologist Ilaria Capua or the astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, sportswomen like the soccer player Sara Gama, exponents of culture and champions of human rights.

The jury, chaired by Donatella Cinelli Colombini and composed of Rosy Bindi, Anselma Dell’Olio, Anna Pesenti, Stefania Rossini, Anna Scafuri and Daniela Viglione has always managed to anticipate the change by emphasizing female characters who represent it.
