On Saturday, September 14, 2024, the Casato Prime Donne Award returns to Montalcino.

The harvest, if the weather is favorable, promises to be as excellent and abundant as the legendary 2010 and 2019 ones.
With the new climate, the Sangiovese vines, in fact, find their best balance when the earthquake is well hydrated and the summer is hot and dry.
Excellent omens for the Casato Prime Donne winery, the first in Italy with an all-female staff, which funds the Casato Prime Donne Award.
The ceremony of the XXIII edition will be held Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Teatro degli Astrusi in Montalcino.
