As the Chicago Tribune says@
Brunello wine is an elixir of Tuscany, and Americans are its most enthusiastic foreign consumers. The U.S. market drinks 25 percent of the roughly 7 million bottles produced annually.
The American trade bureau has agreed to send investigators to Montalcino to meet Tuesday with Italian officials who are privy to details. U.S. trade authorities also are suggesting extensive laboratory analysis of the suspect wine.
"We've asked the Italians to give us a list of vintages and producers affected," Resnick said. "So far they haven't."
