Quanto costa il terreno vitato

Un ettaro di vigneto grand cru in Borgogna può costare più di mille ettari di Bordeaux comune. Il terreno sotto una vite è la singola ragione più importante per cui una bottiglia costa dieci volte un'altra.

I dati sono quelli che le tabelle ufficiali dei valori fondiari e i rapporti di settore forniscono per ciascuna zona, nell'unità da loro pubblicata. Per rappresentarli su una scala unica, le barre usano un tasso approssimativo di un dollaro pari a 0.9 euro e 2,47 acri per ettaro; la cifra riportata è sempre quella originale.

    ArboisJura

14. 

    StellenboschStellenbosch
    ≈$48,391–≈$60,489un ettaro · 2024

    The source of the world’s pale rosé. The vines are modestly priced; the estates and their brands are not.

    The everyday regional appellation across the valley.

    Bordeaux AOC, everydayBordeaux
    ≈$4,477–≈$15,670un ettaro · 2024

    The everyday appellation across the whole region. There is more wine than buyers, so land here has been falling in price for years.

Da dove vengono i dati e con quale frequenza cambiano

La Francia pubblica ogni anno una tabella ufficiale dei valori dei vigneti (SAFER, "Le prix des terres"), appellazione per appellazione; la tabella 2024 è uscita nell'agosto 2025. I dati italiani provengono dal CREA e dalla stampa specializzata, quelli spagnoli dal rilevamento sui prezzi fondiari del ministero dell'agricoltura, quelli tedeschi dall'ufficio di statistica della Renania-Palatinato; gli Stati Uniti non dispongono di una tabella ufficiale, quindi per Napa, Carneros e Oregon si usano rapporti di broker e di settore. I terreni più prestigiosi sono raramente oggetto di compravendita, ed è per questo che la parte alta di ciascun intervallo è spesso una stima. La pagina viene aggiornata ogni volta che viene pubblicata una nuova tabella.
