All of this under the skilful direction of IEM USA, which, since 2007, has overseen the American market, from the north to the south of the continent<\/em>,&#8221; a statement explains.<br \/>\nThe note also stresses that Brazil and Mexico &#8220;represent two of the most promising markets for Italian wine in Latin America, united by the same trend: less volume, more value. Brazil confirms its position among the most dynamic markets globally, with a total value of around \u20ac2.3 billion and imports growing by 9.2% in the first half of 2025.<br \/>\nHere, Italy is the fourth-largest supplier, with exports exceeding \u20ac46 million and demand driven by sparkling wines, ros\u00e9s, and light whites. Mexico, for its part, increasingly rewards quality: Italy ranks second by value (around \u20ac72 million, +5.2%) thanks to iconic denominations such as Chianti, Barolo and Prosecco, with sparkling wines growing by 9%.<\/p>\n<p>Read full article on <a href=\"https:\/\/winenews.it\/it\/con-simply-italian-great-wines-il-vino-italiano-punta-al-sud-america-brasile-e-messico-in-testa_594710\/\"
