Italian wine exports in September saw a significant increase of 13% compared to the same month the previous year, following a 10% decline in the previous year. The nine-month period saw a 5% increase in exports, despite challenges in the French wine industry. Total exports surpassed 8 billion euros for the first time in history. The North American market, in particular, showed strong growth with the USA and Canada experiencing increases of 13% and 100% respectively. The price effect also contributed to the growth with a 7% increase in September. Canada has now become the fourth largest market for Italian wine exports.
