CHIANTI PDO AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CHINESE MARKET
“Coming back to China is very important – says Giovanni Busi, president of the Chianti PDO wine Consortium – as it means that the companies are starting again with their marketing activities. It is an opportunity to face the Chinese market again, to taste the products, and to keep business relationships despite not being possible to be physically present.”
Today China represents about 5% of the total Chianti PDO market, “but its importance – says Busi – has much more to do with the growth in sales that Chianti has been showing for some years now on that market. Given the size of the Chinese market, we can see a really important possibility of further commercial development. It is possible that in a few years China would become the most important market for Chianti wine”.
