Berebene 2016: the best value for money wines

668 are the wines that have earned the Oscar for value for money, the labels that do not overcome the threshold of EUR 10 on the shelf and that are worth a taste. The pages of this guide book are devoted to those designations that help to discover an Italy made of grape varieties, more or less known, sometimes underestimated. There are many small and very small realities that make up the profile of an Italy of wine that is varied and interesting.



BereBene2016: National Oscar

Six labels have been selected – three white and three red to represent the north, center and south – that are the quintessence of Berebene. Extraordinary wines, cheap and easy to find, even in the wine stores that we indicate after each region, where you can find the best of Italy in the bottle.
