What happened

Italy's total wine exports fell 6.2% in the first half of 2026, contracting overall export volumes by 4%. Regional performance varied significantly: Veneto experienced an 8.4% decline in exports, and Tuscany saw a 7.4% contraction in sales. Piedmont, conversely, reported a 2.4% increase, largely due to the success of Asti Spumante.
