The connection between wine quality and quality of life is shaping a new and growing segment of Italy’s real estate market. It’s a positive trend that shows no sign of slowing and could bring lasting benefits to many small towns across the country.
Over the past decade, home prices and property sales in areas known for producing high-quality wines have risen much faster than the national average. Some of the steepest increases have been recorded in regions such as Piedmont, Tuscany, Veneto, Sardinia, and Sicily – in some cases doubling or even tripling in value.
