flag Italian Asti wine producers cut output due to falling exports, especially to the U.S. and Russia, as demand drops.

flag In 2025, Italy’s Asti region had a strong grape harvest, but many winegrowers are reducing production due to declining exports, especially to the U.S. and Russia. flag Falling demand, driven by shifting consumer habits, U.S. tariffs, and reduced sales after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, has caused Asti wine sales to drop from 100 million to an estimated 85 million bottles. flag Italian wine exports fell 4% in the first five months of the year. flag While some producers are cutting yields or leaving grapes on vines, others are adopting organic, low-yield methods to sell premium wines in niche markets. flag Officials caution against drastic measures like uprooting vines, urging voluntary production limits instead. flag The outlook remains uncertain, with recovery dependent on global market stability.
