Using the company&#8217;s forklifts, they loaded the vehicles with wine and fled during the night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is certainly a very well-prepared gang,&#8221; Cotarella said, adding that it may be the same group that has targeted other Italian wineries in recent months. &#8220;A theft of this size and value has never occurred in Italy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wine Spectator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winespectator.com\/articles\/castello-banfi-wine-heist-bubbly-stolen-in-italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that in July, 3,300 bottles were stolen from the renowned Italian producer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winespectator.com\/wine\/search?submitted=Y&amp;scope=ratings&amp;winery=Castello+Banfi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Castello Banfi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cotarella received the 2026 Winemakers&#8217; Winemaker Award from the Institute of Masters of Wine, and the winery is well known for producing Italy&#8217;s most renowned vintages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thieves made off with wines, including bottles of Solaia, Tignanello and Guado al Tasso. The theft was discovered Monday, but the company made it public on Friday to avoid interfering with the investigation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/09\/ba82a033-7ada-4022-9aae-d8b852fe88d4\/thumbnail\/620x414\/79525275c90756204f717544c84997f8\/ap26282593368731.jpg#\" alt=\"Italy Wine Theft \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/09\/ba82a033-7ada-4022-9aae-d8b852fe88d4\/thumbnail\/620x414\/79525275c90756204f717544c84997f8\/ap26282593368731.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/09\/ba82a033-7ada-4022-9aae-d8b852fe88d4\/thumbnail\/1240x828\/ef562f3a63f28e10d3a5124efa621295\/ap26282593368731.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Bottles of 2023 Tignanello, Solaia and Guado al Tasso red wine, among some of the 30,000 bottles stolen by what investigators believe was a well-organized gang.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Marchesi Antinori via AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The stolen bottles were all from the 2023 vintage and are typically sold at a retail price of between 150 euros (approximately $168) and 500 euros each ($560).

Police and Carabinieri officers are examining surveillance footage and other evidence. Cotarella said he remained confident investigators could trace the shipment, noting that two truckloads of wine would be difficult to move without attracting attention.<\/p>\n<p>The theft eclipses previous high-profile wine robberies in Italy. In 2017, thieves stole about 2,000 bottles of rare wines valued at 750,000 euros \u2014 about $840,045 \u2014 from a warehouse near the Adriatic resort town of Cervia.<\/p>\n<section
