At the end of our journey through vineyards and cellars, which again this year took us from the Aosta Valley to the island of Pantelleria to compile the Italian Wines Guide 2025 by Gambero Rosso, we can affirm that Italy’s wine industry – despite the complex international challenges, which unfortunately affect our sector as well – is in a phase of great creative momentum.

On the one hand, there is technical innovation and experimentation, with examples including the spread of resistant grape varieties, new rootstocks in the vineyard, and constant technological updates in wineries. On the other hand, there is a renewed relationship with the environment, focused on sustainability and the harmonious development of wineries, which are increasingly engaged with and participating in local policies.
