On October 2, the historic city of Siena welcomes one of Tuscany’s most anticipated wine events: RED Montalcino 2026.

Organized by the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino, the event celebrates the contemporary character of Rosso di Montalcino, a wine appreciated for its freshness, elegance, versatility, and approachable style. More than 60 wineries gather to present their interpretations of this iconic Tuscan wine, offering visitors a unique opportunity to meet producers and discover the rich diversity of the denomination.
The program combines wine, culture, and entertainment. Guests can enjoy walk-around tastings, explore an Enoteca Collettiva featuring wines served by professional sommeliers, and experience live music curated by Siena Jazz.
