1. Bolgheri DOC
   ≈$279,825–≈$671,580a hectare · 2024

   A young coastal appellation made famous by the super Tuscans; land has risen quickly as estates expand.

2. Brunello di Montalcino
   ≈$335,790–≈$671,580a hectare · 2024

   The limestone and clay slopes of a hilltop town, and a wine that commands high prices.

3. Chianti Classico
   ≈$89,544–≈$223,860a hectare · 2024

   Hill country between Florence and Siena, and a lot of it, so prices stay well below Montalcino.

Bars are drawn against the dearest zone here, on a rough rate of one dollar to 0.9 euros and 2.47 acres to the hectare.

If the vineyard were sold and the money put in the bank, this is what it would earn each year, spread over the bottles the land produces. It is the biggest line in the cost of a famous wine.
