Districts OK in Italy, wine on top

United we stand, divided we fall, even in economics. And, as a matter of fact, the economic districts, between 2008 and 2017, have registered a 13% increase in turnover (and +4.6% in 2017 over 2016), compared to +8.7% in the non-district areas. The agri-food districts, especially, have seen even greater growth, equal to +29.2%, thanks to the systemization of the know-how and commercial strength of PDO and PGI productions. To the extent that, 6 out of the top 20 districts for growth and profitability performance, are linked to wine & food. And, Prosecco di Conegliano Valdobbiadene (photo) is in third place overall, says the latest report by Intesa San Paolo.
