With the wine market showing few encouraging signals for export and out-of-home consumption, but that certainly doesn’t run at full speed, when considering volumes, with a quite precocious 2024 harvest, that, starting in Sicily, is now beginning in many other territories of Central-Southern Italy (from the Tuscan Maremma to Apulia) with the companies in need of freeing up some space in their cellars.

As of today, if referencing to the last WineNews analysis, made on April 2024, bulk prices of the main denominations seem to be holding up, at least when looking at the main ones from the three great Italian wine regions of Veneto, Piedmont and Tuscany, which account for more than half of the production and export value.
