The harvest in Valpolicella saw modest yields and good phenolic ripeness. According to winemaker Riccardo Tedeschi, the grapes promise structured, long-lived reds, with some similarities to 2022. The final profile of the Amarone will depend on the appassimento and subsequent winemaking processes.

The future of wine comes from experience

The Pambianco–PwC Wine&Food Summit highlighted the need to renew wine communication, highlighting experiences, local produce, and food pairings. Restaurants and producers can help consumers recognize quality, discover new labels, and better understand the product, without reducing it to price alone.

Giuseppe Carrus: Territorial identity helps overcome the crisis

For the editor of Gambero Rosso’s Vini d’Italia guide, the future of the sector depends on its ability to express territorial identity and distinctiveness. In Abruzzo, in addition to Montepulciano and Trebbiano, there is growing interest in Pecorino and the revaluation of Cerasuolo, considered a wine of great value and not a second-rate type.

Organic, FederBio criticizes the proposal for the future CAP

FederBio expresses concern about the EU Council’s position, which would make aid for the conversion and maintenance of organic farming optional for member states in the post-2027 CAP. According to the federation, this decision could reduce the continuity of funding, penalize companies committed to the ecological transition, and increase disparities between European countries.

Wine, health, and science: a more informed debate is needed.

Physician and neuroscientist Giovanni Scapagnini proposes a scientific approach to the relationship between wine, health, and longevity. His book, “La via del vino,” promoted by Signorvino and published by Mondadori, will be available in January 2027. The project encourages us to distinguish scientific evidence from simplifications, also considering lifestyle and the need for responsible choices. It’s not about attributing proven health benefits to wine, but about promoting accurate information.

Wine and Health: New Controversy Over Public Statements

Alessandro Borghese’s statements on moderate wine consumption reignite the debate on the relationship between alcohol and health. This topic highlights the need to distinguish personal opinions from scientific evidence: alcohol consumption poses health risks and cannot be presented as generally beneficial.

3. INTERNATIONAL

A collection of fine wines fetches $6.4 million at auction.

In Hong Kong, Christie’s sold the entire cellar of former Finance Secretary Henry Tang for $6.4 million, 151% above the initial estimate.

Wine tourism: Growing international interest in Italian wineries

The second edition of FINE #WineTourism Marketplace Italy, held in Riva del Garda on October 27 and 28, attracted 100 exhibitors and 90 international buyers, a 30% increase over the debut. Wine tourism continues to be a key driver for diversifying revenues, developing direct sales, and enhancing local areas and landscapes. Nomisma estimates cited in the industry attribute hospitality to over 20% of the average turnover of Italian wineries, for a business exceeding €3 billion.

Sicily strengthens its positioning as a wine tourism destination

At FINE Italy 2026, Assovini Sicilia presented the wine tourism offerings of ten member companies, including Donnafugata, Planeta, Cottanera, Graci, and Cantine Pellegrino. The goal is to attract international tour operators and tour operators with itineraries, hospitality, and personalized experiences tied to wine and the region.

Wine tourism: more connections between supply and demand

The FINE Italy 2026 meetings confirm the need to strengthen relationships between wineries, buyers, and tourism operators.

The main news from the world of wine: wineries, markets, oenology, sustainability, innovation, and events.

1. ITALIAN WINERIES AND NEW LABELS

Fattoria Sardi: in Tuscany, over half of the production is rosé.

In Lucca, Fattoria Sardi has built its identity on rosé wines, which represent over 50% of its production. This transformation, initiated in 2009 by Matteo Giustiniani with the contribution of winemaker Denis Dubourdieu, highlights the climatic characteristics and soils of the Freddana Valley. Some of the estate’s rosés demonstrate a capacity to evolve for more than ten years.

VentiVenti: The Classic Method in the Heart of Lambrusco

The VentiVenti winery in Medolla, near Modena, focuses on the Classic Method through a contemporary reinterpretation of local grape varieties. Founded in 2016 by the Razzaboni family, it owns over 70 hectares of land, more than 30 of which are vineyards. Oenological research, sustainability, and long aging on the lees guide the project.

Della Gherardesca presents the new Bolgheri Rosso Superiore

The Della Gherardesca collection is enriched with the Castello di Castagneto Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC 2023, produced with Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (25%), and Cabernet Franc (10%). The project, born from the collaboration between Gaddo della Gherardesca and Prosit Group, combines family tradition with a contemporary vision of the region.

Cantina Roeno relaunches Enantio, a native grape variety from the Adige Valley.

Enantio, an ancient red grape variety that survived phylloxera, is returning to the spotlight thanks to Cantina Roeno, run by the Fugatti family. Grown in the Terradeiforti region, between Veneto and Trentino, it covers just 35-40 hectares. Its promotion represents an opportunity to protect Italy’s viticultural biodiversity.

MAN Sparkling Wines: Blanc de Noir 2021 among the Rare Wines

The 2021 Trento Brut Nature Blanc de Noir from MAN Spumanti, a company founded in 2016 in Val di Cembra, is the only Trentodoc awarded in the Sparkling Wines category of the Rare Wines of Gambero Rosso 2027.

Gambero Rosso has included the South Tyrolean winery San Michele Appiano among the ten Wine Icons selected to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the Vini d’Italia guide. This recognition recognizes the winery’s contribution to the qualitative renewal of South Tyrolean and Italian viticulture.

2. ITALIAN WINE, OENOLOGY AND MARKET

Gambero Rosso 2027: Special Awards from the Vini d’Italia Guide

The fortieth edition of Gambero Rosso’s Vini d’Italia guide features 2,614 producers and over 23,000 wines. Among the awards, the best red is from Abruzzo and the best white from Sicily. Special prizes also recognize young producers, historic wineries, and new winemaking approaches, including spontaneous fermentations, orange wines, and Piwi-resistant grape varieties.

Oltrepò Pavese: Tre Bicchieri record

The 2027 Vini d’Italia guide awards Oltrepò Pavese 11 Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses), the best result ever achieved by the region. Ten of the awards are for Pinot Noir-based wines, both Metodo Classico and red. Newcomers include Finigeto, with its Pinot Noir Il Nirò Riserva 2023, and Cà Tessitori, with its Metodo Classico Extra Brut MV 2021.

Lugana DOC: Identity and quality at the heart of the strategy

Alberto Zenato, vice president of the Consorzio Tutela Lugana DOC, reiterates the importance of strengthening the denomination’s value without focusing solely on increasing volumes. Clay soils, Lake Garda’s microclimate, and the Turbiana grape variety are the main distinguishing features of Lugana, prized for its freshness, minerality, and ability to age.

Collio Pinot Grigio: two interpretations and a strong territorial identity

The second edition of Collio Evolution explored the potential of Pinot Grigio, a grape variety that represents approximately 30% of the denomination’s production. The event brought together over 60 journalists, 50 wineries, and over 250 wines for tasting, with the aim of highlighting the relationship between soils, microclimates, and production styles.

Altroconsumo: The best white wine isn’t necessarily the most expensive.

An Altroconsumo test published on October 26th on 36 white wines, evaluated in a laboratory and by 22 expert judges, highlights that price is no guarantee of quality. The top-ranked wine averages around 11 euros, demonstrating that a good purchase can be affordable without spending a lot.

New index to measure the evolutionary potential of wine

Nicola Biasi Consulting presents NB-WEP (Wine Evolution Potential), an index designed to evaluate and monitor the aging potential of wines. The method is intended to support winemaking decisions regarding aging in a context characterized by climate change, premature ripening, and potential imbalances in acidity and phenolic structure.

Direct distribution: winemakers seek margins and new business relationships.

The Corto Circuito network brings together small producers who choose to connect directly with restaurants and wine shops, reducing the need for intermediaries. The goal is to contain distribution costs and strengthen customer relationships during a period of declining consumption and growing commercial difficulties.

Restaurants: Expensive wine lists and declining consumption

According to the Fipe-UIV Observatory, wine generates approximately €12 billion in consumption in Italian restaurants and represents over 21% of the average bill. However, spending and volumes are declining. The Federvini-TradeLab Observatory noted a 7% decline in wine consumption outside the home in the first three quarters of 2025. High prices and limited menu options can discourage consumers.

Italian wine tourism: authenticity and local flavor attract Americans

In the first eight months of 2026, foreign tourists spent €16.2 billion in Italy, a 5% increase over 2025. The United States leads the ranking with €2.55 billion (7.3%). According to the AITE report for Vinitaly Tourism, 79% of US respondents consider Italy a destination capable of offering authentic food and wine experiences. Sicily and Tuscany are the most popular regions, followed by Piedmont.

Tuscany and Sicily: A Comparison of Two Wine Tourism Models

A CESEO-LUMSA study for the Wine Tourism Movement, presented at FINE Italy, highlights the strong presence of foreign visitors in Tuscan (66%) and Sicilian (74%) wineries. Tuscany stands out for its connection between wine, culture, and landscape; Sicily for its sustainability, gastronomy, and hospitality. Territorial differences can become a resource for targeted development strategies.

Italian wine seeks a new balance between health and conscious consumption.

The book La Via del Vino , written by neuroscientist Giovanni Scapagnini and promoted by the Foundation supported by Federico Veronesi, will be available in bookstores from January 2027. The work aims to explore the relationship between wine and health through scientific data and sources, recalling the theme of moderation and the dietary and cultural context of the Mediterranean Diet.

Italian olive oil: growing international competition

A study on global olive oil trade highlights the growth of New World producers, including Chile, Argentina, Australia, and the United States. Mechanization, high-density planting, and alternative production schedules are strengthening their competitiveness, putting pressure on traditional Mediterranean countries. This issue affects the Italian agri-food sector as a whole.

3. INTERNATIONAL WINE AND FOREIGN MARKETS

South Korea: Wine consumption grows, as demand for education increases

Gambero Rosso brings a new international event to Seoul dedicated to the finest Italian wines, with tastings, masterclasses, and awards for Italian restaurants. According to a 2024 IWSR survey, only 32% of Korean wine consumers consider themselves knowledgeable, while between 2019 and 2024, the number of people drinking wine at least once a week grew by 50%. The market therefore offers opportunities for promotion and education.

United States: Signs of recovery, but consumption is changing

The US market is showing signs of recovery, accompanied by new preferences: lower alcohol consumption, greater attention to Prosecco, and interest in premium brands. ITA President Matteo Zoppas points to wine tourism and restaurant promotion as strategic levers. Veronafiere confirms the importance of the United States for Italian wine and aims to strengthen Vinitaly’s presence in the country.

Vinitaly.USA in New York: Emilia-Romagna wines take center stage

Emilia-Romagna showcased Lambrusco, Romagna wines, and DOP and IGP designations, combining wine promotion with the culinary culture of Casa Artusi. Tariffs, slowing consumption, and competition make promoting origin and quality a priority.

Vinitaly OperaWine 2027: 46 Wineries Led by Women

The selection of 150 companies participating in Vinitaly OperaWine 2027 was presented in New York. Alongside the historic categories, 46 wineries are led by women, championing the visibility and leadership of women in the sector. The selection was illustrated with the contribution of Alison Napjus, senior editor of Wine Spectator.

Denmark: Towards the European Union’s Northernmost Wine PDO

The European Commission has published the application for recognition of the Danish Røsnæs appellation, initiating a three-month period for any objections. If approved, it will be Denmark’s second PDO wine and the northernmost in the EU. The project demonstrates the expansion of viticulture in Northern Europe, favored by maritime microclimates and resistant varieties.

Australia: 187ml wine bottles are gaining new consumers.

The Poco Vino brand, launched by the Australian Vintage group, focuses on single-serve 187ml bottles, selling for around AUD $7. According to industry press, the brand sells around 12,000 bottles a day and is expanding across Australia, the United Kingdom, and other markets. The format appeals to those who want a single glass without opening a traditional bottle.

4. WINE EVENTS, PROMOTION AND TERRITORY

Collio Evolution: An International Pinot Grigio Comparison

The event, organized by the Consortium, brought together over 60 Italian and international journalists, 50 wineries, and more than 250 wines in Gorizia and Cormòns.

The meeting explored sustainable tourism and the agricultural and winemaking history of the Maremma, with a walk through the historic center dedicated to the region’s history.

Drink in Sansepolcro: Italian wine meets culture

The second edition of BEVI – Borgo Eccellenze Vinicole Italiane brought producers and enthusiasts to Sansepolcro, showcasing the artistic and architectural heritage of Piero della Francesca’s city. The event combines the promotion of Italian wine, culture, and tourism development in the Tiber Valley.

FINE Italy: Shared strategies for the future of wine tourism

The discussion promoted by the Wine Tourism Movement highlighted the need to enhance the differences between regions, improve accessibility, and integrate sustainability, hospitality, and digital promotion.

The Guardiani del Territorio association is challenging the lack of funding for viticulture in the Sicilian Regional Assembly’s budget, amounting to approximately €1.4 billion.

The Tommasi family has been named Winery of the Year in Gambero Rosso’s 2027 Vini d’Italia Guide. With 125 years of history and four generations at the helm, the group stands out for its promotion of Valpolicella and investments in seven Italian regions. The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Ca’ Florian has earned the Tre Bicchieri award.

Cascina delle Rose: growing without increasing production

Riccardo and Davide Sobrino, owners of Cascina delle Rose in Barbaresco, have received the Gambero Rosso Winemakers of the Year 2027 award. The winery produces approximately 30,000 bottles annually on 5.5 hectares and chooses to maintain a modest size, focusing on quality, local identity, and sustainable work.

Damilano recounts the terroir through three 2022 Barolos.

The historic Damilano winery presents a comparison of Barolo Castellero, Cerequio, and Cannubi, all from the same vintage. The tasting highlights the expressive differences of the three vineyards, demonstrating how soil, exposure, and microclimate influence the character of Nebbiolo, even in a hot and dry vintage like 2022.

Pighin: Double recognition for the 2020 Picolit Collio DOC

Pighin’s Picolit Collio DOC 2020 received the Tre Bicchieri award and the special Meditation Wine of the Year prize in Gambero Rosso’s 2027 Italian Wines Guide.

Reggio Emilia wineries: interest in wine is growing, but wine tourism remains underdeveloped.

According to a survey conducted in September 2026 by Protur Media of 38 Calabrian wineries, the six analyzed in the province of Reggio Calabria allow booking tours and tastings online, but not directly from their websites. The report highlights the need for improved digital promotion and the ability to transform the local winemaking heritage into purchasable tourism experiences.

Centanni Winery: High diesel prices weigh on company costs.

The Centanni organic farm, with approximately 50 hectares of vineyards between the provinces of Ascoli Piceno and Fermo, is reporting rising costs for field operations and shipping.

Massimo Cacciari: Wine is part of Europe’s cultural identity

Speaking at the Coldiretti Forum in Rome, philosopher Massimo Cacciari criticizes the tendency to demonize wine and frame it as part of widespread prohibitions.

Its protection, he argues, must be reconciled with precise rules, information, and the freedom of informed choice.

Italian wine exports: signs of recovery in the United States

According to provisional data from the Italian Wine Union, in the third quarter of 2026, Italian exports to non-EU countries increased by approximately 8%, with growth approaching 17% in the United States. The January-September balance remains negative: -3% in non-EU markets and -6% in the US, but this is an improvement compared to the decline recorded in June. It remains to be seen whether the recovery reflects a recovery in consumption or a restocking of inventories.

Wine stocks on the rise: 16 million hectoliters as of July 31

Italian wine inventories reached 16 million hectoliters as of July 31, 2026, compared to 13.6 million in the same period in 2025. The 2.4 million hectoliter increase confirms the pressure on the market, despite signs of a recovery in exports. A less abundant harvest in Italy, France, and Spain could help gradually rebalance availability.

Piedmont: Prestigious vineyards become international investment assets.

In the Langhe, between Barolo, Barbaresco, and Monferrato, the most prestigious vineyards attract private wealth, family offices, and financial investors.

Rising values strengthen the role of wine as an investment tied to the prestige of the region, but raise questions about the accessibility of agricultural land.

Completed in 2024 and designed by BORD Architectural Studio, the Sauska Tokaj Winery is located near Rátka, in Hungary’s UNESCO-listed winegrowing landscape.
