Daily Guide to Wine 2010
The best wines in Italy less than 10 € in the basement

Five labels awarded Umbrian

What is today "everyday wine"? A reasonably priced wine whose characteristic essential is the quality.

Daily Guide to Wine 2010. The best wines of Italy in less than 10 € in the basement of Slow Food Editore focuses attention on this segment of the market, driving consumers to drink well while maintaining the portfolio. According

Ismea, retail sales of wine have declined in the first half of 2009 of 5.5%, with forecasts for the picture even worse year (-6.3%), while the volumes of the DOC and DOCG are up 2%, c 'is therefore a compilation of the Italians, in a context of crisis, to focus on higher quality wines.

Across the sector, the origin of the wine prices were down this year significantly - the white (DOC and DOCG) of 20%, the red (DOC and DOCG) 35% - but hardly the price of bottles on the shelf will follow the same trend. The risk is that of facing a strong asymmetry between the remuneration of the producer and retail price.

Guide invites the reader to then look for its wines directly from producers: a chance to spend the most of their money by visiting companies.

"The wineries reported, of which tell the story and the style of production, are 1700 and for each of these are given up to three wines with a very favorable ratio for money - the editors tell Giancarlo Gariglio and Fabio Giavedoni - Of these 4000 tags, 300 were awarded our highest honor, while the remaining wines are marked with a star or two, depending on the score achieved in our blind tastings. "

on this journey to Italy by land less celebrated, together with native grapes with names perhaps a bit 'exotic and special wines and a very strong stamp of land, the region received the highest number of labels, that is the highest award, and Piedmont, with 59 wines reported for the excellent value for money, followed by Tuscany (51), Veneto (25), Friuli Venezia Giulia (21), Marche (17), Sicily (16), Emilia Romagna and High Adige (13), Lombardia (12), Puglia (11) Campania (10), Abruzzo, Lazio and Sardinia (8), close and Basilicata Trentino (6), Umbria (5), Valle d'Aosta and Liguria (4) , Calabria (2) and Molise (1).
