There are 560 wines in the pages of the guide that have the "thumbs up," that is, our symbol for good value for money. From these, we have chosen the 10 that have the best value for money.
To make this final ranking of the 10 wines with the best value for money, that is, wines to buy to drink well at very affordable prices, we selected those that had a score above 90/100 and cost within 8.50 euros. For reasons that are easily understood, they are all wines from the last vintage, 2022.
Our champion proves to be theErbaluce di Caluso Fior di Ghiaccio 2022 Cantina Produttori Erbaluce di Caluso, a Piedmontese white with a long tradition, little considered outside the region. It reports an excellent tasting score (93/100) and costs decidedly little: € 6 (to be precise, on the company shop you can find it for € 5.90). A very fruity, broad and fresh wine.
We then have, in second place, a Marche, a Bianchello del Metauro, accompanied further down the rankings by another Marche, a Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. So here are two from Abruzzo, a Trebbiano and a Montepulciano, followed by other wines-all DOC-from Friuli, Umbria, Veneto, Campania, and Trentino. Only two are red, for the rest we have to note if you do not want to spend a lot, but do not want to give up quality, it is easier to drink white.
