An average decrease of 15% for Brunello, Nobile and Chianti.
Despite Italy is expected to remain the world’s leading wine producer with 47.2 million hectolitres, Tuscany is preparing for a good harvest but -15% production decline (estimated at 2.232 million hectolitres compared with 2.625 million hectolitres of last year, or 394 hectolitres less).
The Consortia: «There will be an average decline of 15%, however, we expect an excellent year in terms of quality. Thus, supply and demand balance will be re-established after the blocking of sales due to Covid».
