Castello Banfi, the top Tuscan wine producer, said in a statement released Monday that bottles of Brunello di Montalcino from the 2003 harvest have been released from impound and are back on sale.
The Italian government had seized 600,000 bottles back in April over allegations there were too many of them for the wine to be authentic. The conclusion was that the wine had been doctored with other wines.
Government investigators have not yet explained publicly why the wine was released.
