Wines of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato districts are soaring and Prosecco DOCG leads the flight

The district system is continuing to do very well, even in the agri-food sector. And, it is not just by chance that 7 out of the 30 districts are linked to Italian wine & food, boasting the largest growth in exports in the first quarter of the year, according to the Intesa San Paolo monitor. One of these wine districts that stands out, and is at the absolute top for value, is Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, which with Barolo and Barbaresco, Barbera and Nebbiolo, the champions of Made in Italy wine produced in the UNESCO wine landscapes, has exported for a value of 312 million euros, 36.8 million euros more than in the first quarter of 2017, and a growth of 13.4%. The Prosecco district of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG, one of Italian wine’s driving forces in the world, has continued to grow over the last few years and in the first three months of 2018 has exported bottles of wine for a value of 156.7 million euros, and 9.5% growth, compared to the same period in 2017.
