Italian Spumante Sector Expects To Post €1.2 Billion In Exports

The Italian spumante/sparkling-wine industry is expected to have reached €1.2 billion in export sales for 2016, as it grows at the expense of rivals such as French champagne and Spanish cava, according to a study by Wine Monitor è l'Osservatorio di Nomisma.

Exports of Italian sparkling wines grew by approximately 25% last year, thanks to burgeoning prosecco sales.

The French market remains the leader in terms of sparkling-wine exports, which were valued at €2.7 billion in 2015, but declined by approximately 1% last year.

Spanish sparkling wine exports also saw a decline last year, of approximately 3%.
