(Looking for the program of Jazz & Wine 2015? Read on here.)
Montalcino Jazz & Wine is in its 17th year and as usual the festival opens up at Castello Banfi, the initiator and main sponsor of the event. After the first two nights in the courtyard of the American Brunello winery, the concerts will take place in Montalcino's medieval fortress in the town center.
Starting off with two Italian gigs at the Banfi winery, the festival works its way up to 'The Children of the Light', the trio of pianist and Grammy award winner Danilo Perez and closes with British jazz funk band Incognito.

TICKETS MONTALCINO JAZZ & WINE
Concerts start at 9.45 pm. Arrive early to have a small bite to eat (prepared by Montalcino's neighborhoods) or fine dine in one of my favorite restaurants. Remember to bring warm clothes, since summer nights can be surprisingly cool and windy up at the fortress. Blankets are available in case you forgot your jumper. Or just warm up with tasting your way through the selection of Banfi wines available all through the concerts; start with their Brut, a fine sparkling wine produced in Northern Italy and finish with their Brunello Poggio alle Mura or Brunello Riserva Poggio all'Oro .
