Italian sparkling wines, which have been driving the growth of Italian wine exports for years, have also been the great protagonists of the strong recovery of Italian wine in 2021, both “at home” and abroad (pending the final figures that should confirm the record of over 7 billion euros for the entire wine sector).

And further confirmation of growth in both 2020 and 2019 (albeit to a lesser extent) comes from OVSE-Osservatorio Economico Vini e Spumanti, an independent structure founded in 1991 at the Catholic University of Piacenza and headed by Giampietro Comolli. From which it emerges, importantly, that, in general, values have grown more than volumes.
