The Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino is a voluntary association of producers who are seeking to foster the steadily increasing prestige of their wine.
Not all the wine produced in Chianti is Chianti Classico. Provenance from a determined territory is not sufficient to permit use of an appellation. The producer must respect all the rules stipulated in the production code. Find out more on this useful site.
The whole site is dedicated to the King of Wine.

The Consortium, starts in may 1949, wanted by 18 producers, it was called "Consortium for the defence of fine and typical wines of Frascati". In later years it was modified in "Consortium in warranty of Frascati trade name".
It's been one of the first associations to receive the task of controlling the trade name.
The brand of the Consortium is an eagle with open wings and her claws hold a sign on which is written TVSCVLUM, placed on a shell with spirals and crowned with a noble crown which contains elements of the coat of arms of the town of Frascati (crossed keys), Grottaferrata (wrought iron gate), and Monte Porzio Catone (pine tree with crossed screws).
