Looking at the main denominations of the 3 most important wine regions in Italy – Veneto, Piedmont and Tuscany -, the price of the bulk wine is keeping very well its value. The wines with more value are Bolgheri and Amarone della Valpolicella, both with a value around 1100 euros per hectolitre; just below we find another two big denominations: Barolo and Brunello that, despite a small drop, remain close to 1000 euros per hectolitre as maximum.

The situation of the “minor” denominations in Piedmont sees: Barbaresco between 651 and 804 euros per hectolitre (the last harvest 2021), Barbera d’Alba between 297 and 320 euros per hectolitre (2023), Langhe Nebbiolo between 245 and 300 euros per hectolitre (2023).

Moving to Tuscany, Bolgheri is the wine with the highest value, compared to the other Tuscan wines. The picture of the other denominations sees: Chianti Classico, between the 310 euro minimum (harvest 2019) and the 380 euro maximum (vintage 2023) and the Nobile di Montepulciano, which share between 340 and 390 euros for the 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Going back to the Veneto region, Recioto and Amarone are on the podium with a value between 1050 and 1150 euros per hectolitre, the Valpolicella Ripasso between 320 euros per hectolitre (vintage 2021) to 350 for the “Classico” version (2022). Valpolicella Doc, (harvest 2022) starts from 200 euros per hectolitre and reaches 250 for the “Classico Superiore”.

In the “Sparkling area” there’s a slightly drop in values: the denomination “Rive” of Conegliano di Valdobbiadene reaches about 260/280 euros per hectolitre, while the denomination “Asolo” grows to 230/250 euros per hectolitre. “Cartizze” stands out above all the denomination, with a value of about 700/750 euros per hectolitre.
