The Siena edition of Italy’s national daily La Nazione has reported that the investigation of Brunello producers has expanded and that more wineries have been implicated in the inquiry. According to the report, published today, more wine has been impounded for testing.

Author of the report, Laura Valdesi, also claims that authorities are testing wines other than Brunello produced in Montalcino.
