(ANSA) Milan, March 20 - Italy's thriving wine-producing

Mediobanca.
The information was released on the eve of the Vinitaly
fair and was based on polling of 122 wine producing firms.

steady this year, thanks in part to a significant surge by 17%
of Italian exports in Asia, Mediobanca's report said
