Fine Wine of Italy at the top in 2019: the Italy 100 best index of the Liv-Ex in absolute

The star of Italy’s fine wines continues to shine brightly. On the secondary market, they are the ones that grow the most, from the beginning of 2019, or rather, the only ones to grow (along with Champagne), and second, from August 2018 to the present day, behind the only top Burgundy labels. In the first two thirds of the year, in fact, according to the indices that measure the price trend on the benchmark of the sector, the platform of Liv-Ex, the Italy 100, an index formed by the most recent physical years of Sassicaia, Masseto, Solaia (Antinori), Tignanello (Antinori), Ornellaia, Barbaresco di Gaja, Barolo Monfortino Riserva and Barolo Cascina Francia by Giacomo Conterno, Guado al Tasso (Antinori) and Redigaffi by Tua Rita, grew by 4.97%, while all others (except Champagne 50, at +1.87%), were down more or less. It ranges from -1% from -0.3% of Bordeaux 500 to -0.74% of Bordeaux Legends 50, to -4.71% of Burgundy 150, with the Liv-Ex 1000, which includes these and other sub-indices, which overall loses -1% since the beginning of the year. While the Liv-Ex 100, the reference index of the platform, which monitors the price trend of the most sought-after collectable wines ever, (where Italy is more present than in the past, with Masseto 2014 and 2015, Ornellaia 2013 and 2015, Sassicaia 2014, 2015 and 2016, Tignanello 2015 and 2016, Solaia 2015, Barolo Monfortino Riserva 2010 by Giacomo Conterno, Barolo 2014 by Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo Villero 2013 Brovia and Sperss 2013 by Gaja), grows by only 0.1%. And even more significant is the performance of Italian labels year on year: from August 2018 to August 2019, the growth of Italy 100 was +9.7%, behind only the Burgundy 150, to +11.1%.
