Around the world, Italian sparkling wines continue to make their mark despite the fact that the period is not the best as far as the international wine-related market is concerned. A balance that sees a 14% drop for the volumes of Italian sparkling wines shipped to the United States in 2023, but not that of the actual consumption of Italian sparkling among US shelves and venues, which instead turn on a green light.

This is noted by the Uiv (Unione Italiana Vini) - Vinitaly Observatory recording the generalized setback in U.S. imports after a triumphant ride that lasted 15 years (Covid year aside) with sales rising by almost 100%. But according to Uiv-Vinitaly this is not the end of a love affair.
