The estimate also recorded a slight decrease compared to the first estimates of September (-1%, to 47.2 million; data taken from Oiv for our country and released today for world forecasts) due to lower yields both in the field and in the cellar , but which sees the quality bar growing, with a standard that thanks to the weather has risen week by week, with peaks of excellence in almost the whole country even after the rains at the end of September.
