Prosecco DOCG is growing globally

It is a fact that for many years Prosecco has been the economic engine of Italian wine exports. Once again, the numbers from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Consortium, the historical heart and quality summit of the Prosecco galaxy, elaborated by the Cirve of Conegliano, confirm its leadership. Over 93 million bottles were sold in 2017 (+3% on 2016) for 500 million euros in turnover (+6%), placing Italy as the number one market, but also increasingly growing exports, at +6.9% in value and +1.8% in volume. Of the “historical” markets, the UK (+36.5% in value), Austria (+17.1%), USA (+16.1%) and Germany (+8.6%) are doing quite well.
