AWS President, Frank Aquilino, toasts Banfi Vintners Virginia Mariani-Kitt at the BENVENUTO BRUNELLO 2015 event last month.

The Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino presented the unveiling of its acclaimed five star vintage, 2010 Brunello di Montalcino, in New York.

This was a unique Italian wine tasting experience as over 40 renowned wineries from Montalcino revealed, for the first time in the US, the Brunello di Montalcino 2010 along with their Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2009, Rosso di Montalcino 2013, Sant'Antimo and Moscadello di Montalcino.

In attendance were AWSEF president Bonnie Huber, AWS president Frank Aquilino, and Banfi Vintners Director of Hospitality Virginia Mariani-Kitt.

The AWSEF acknowledges and appreciates the continued support of Banfi in our quest to assist graduate student education.
