In 1985, Lodovico Antinori founded the famous Ornellaia, from which the coveted Masseto single vineyard wine emerged as it did not fit into the concept. And such a "second vin" from Masseto was created in 2017 - it was named Massetino. For the consumer, it means being able to open and enjoy great wines whose prices are on average 35-45 % lower than the prices of the primary wines.

Oggi ci sono 120 tenute nella DOCG, rispetto alle circa 25 tenute nel 1975. Tuttavia fu solo negli anni '70 che gli appassionati di vino iniziarono a prestare attenzione al Brunello di Montalcino, che ormai stava diventando un vino eccezionale.
Altri coltivatori hanno seguito l'esempio. La stessa Montalcino è una pittoresca cittadina collinare non particolarmente nota per la produzione di vino fino alla metà del XIX secolo, quando un proprietario di un vigneto locale isolò il clone di Brunello e lo piantò.

Situato nella Toscana centro-meridionale sotto il Chianti, i vini del Brunello di Montalcino DOCG sono fatti di un clone di Sangiovese chiamato "brunello", che significa "piccolo scuro", un riferimento ai toni marroni nella buccia dell'uva. Il Brunello di Montalcino è considerato una delle migliori denominazioni italiane.

Although the appearance of secondary buds led to a decline in yields, the quality and concentration were better. The drop in temperatures and the frosts recorded at the end of March did not have an excessive impact on the vineyard. The mildness of spring favored early budding in the vineyard.
