+++ TO GO WITH STORY- Lifestyle-Italy-US-wine-drink-probe US ambassador vouches for Italy's scandal-hit Brunello wine by Gina Doggett+++ US Ambassador to Italy Ronald Spogli holds a glass of the famous Tuscan wine Brunello di Montalcino, in Montalcino on July 3, 2008. Brunello di Montalcino "will continue to be a symbol of excellence in the world" despite a probe into allegations that some wines sold as Brunello were not 100 percent from sangiovese grapes as the appellation requires, Spogli told a news conference. At least four Montalcino vineyards have been implicated in the probe, including the region's top producer, the American-owned Banfi. AFP PHOTO/ Gina Dogget
