The vineyards of the most prestigious Italian wine denominations are the most valuable agricultural lands in Italy. At the top, the Barolo vineyards, whose value fluctuates between 250.000 and 2 million euros per hectare; in second place, the Alto Adige vineyards in the Lake Caldaro area (between 440.000 and 900.000 euros), and then the vineyards in Montalcino, the land of Brunello (starting from 250.000 euros to 900.000 euros).

Next, the Bolgheri DOC vineyards, ranging from 240.000 to 750.000 euros per hectare. The Val Venosta apple orchards reach the same maximum price (they start at 450.000 per hectare, and are the only crop, other than the vineyards, in the first few places).
