Talk:Brunello di Montalcino

I was not aware (nor do I think it is true) that Brunello is a synonym for Sangiovese. Rather it was my understanding that the growers around Montalcino had managed to create an especially large fruited Sangiovese that they call Brunello (i.e. the Brunello is a local version of Sangiovese, not a synomym).

Lived a number of years in Italy and never heard the term "Brunello" connected to "bordello"

see also the website in Italian http://www.consorziobrunellodimontalcino.it, website of the Brunello di Montalcino wine association

Biondi Santi did champion the use os the Sangiovese Grosso. But today, 100 years later, calling Brunello a specific clone of the Sangiovese is a little simplistic. Given the nature of grape propagation by selecting bud wood from specific vines, there is now a large range of "clones" of Brunello. I agree that synonym is a poor choice of words and have changed that in the article. At best, it is a name ffor a range of sangiovese clones. There are many local variants of Sangiovese: Morellino, Prugnolo Gentile, Brunello, Sangioveto etc. wine and food guy 12:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Etymology of the name "Brunello"

Right now the article reports that "Brunello, a diminutive of Bruno, a male given name which means brown, is the name that was given locally to what was believed to be an individual grape variety grown in Montalcino".

This connects the name of the wine "Brunello" with the diminutive of the given name "Bruno", without providing any references. Isn't it more plausible that "Brunello" is simply related to the diminutive of the color "bruno" and has nothing to do with the given name "Bruno"?

Furthermore, another famous wine from Montalcino is the "Rosso di Montalcino"; "rosso" means "red". Wouldn't it make more sense that both names just come from the color, so that they are the "Red of Montalcino" and the "Little brown of Montalcino"?

I suggest to remove the reference to the given name Bruno, unless it is proven that the name of the wine "Brunello" derives from the given name "Bruno" and not just from the color "bruno". DavideWpedia (talk) 17:25, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
