We’re entering the wine market’s peak season, and we’ve got one word for you.
Italy.
Despite its ancient winemaking tradition, Italy wasn’t always seen as a top player in the fine wine world.
Its reputation for mass-produced, inconsistent wines (like Asti and Chianti), stiff competition from France’s prestigious wine regions, and a post-war focus on quantity over quality kept Italian wine from gaining the recognition it deserved.
Oh, how times have changed!
Now, Italy accounts for approximately 10% of the fine wine market.
Its success is driven by consistently exceptional quality wine, strong demand, and competitive pricing, with top wines appreciating over 13% annually.
Past performance does not necessarily equate to future results.
While top Bordeaux wines often exceed £1,000 per bottle, Italian wines of almost identical quality range from £200 to £300, making them a way better option for collectors seeking value without compromising on quality.
After last week’s shout-out about the Roagna Crichet Paje Riserva 2004, we’ve had an unbelievable reaction from our clients.
With limited stock, it didn’t take long for them to fly off the shelves.
