[WineFi] The Italian Collection II - Why Now?

Now Live: The Italian Collection II

The Italian Collection II is now open for investment, offering access to the finest investment-grade wines of Tuscany and Piedmont at a fraction of the cost.

This wine syndicate utilises the same data-driven approach as our original Italian Collection, which has returned 10.77% in its first ten months, while the broader Italian market was broadly flat at just 0.33%.

The market is no longer flat, and this syndicate offers the best and most cost-effective way to access fine wine as an asset class. 

What is a wine syndicate?

The Italian Collection: 10%+ Returns In A Flat Market

The inaugural Italian Collection has returned 10.77% over its first ten months. Over the same period, the benchmark the Liv-ex Italy 100 returned 0.33%.

Those returns were generated in a flat market.The wider market is no longer flat. 

The WineFi Trade Price Index advanced 3.1% in Q1 2026, the third consecutive quarter of growth and the first such sequence since Q1 2022.

The ratio of bids to offers has increased 2.2x over the past twelve months. The gap between buyer and seller prices is at its narrowest in six quarters. And 52.4% of investment-grade wines traded at higher prices than the previous quarter.

The Italian Collection II makes that strategy available in this improved environment.

Why Now?

The Collection launches into the most encouraging market conditions we have seen in over three years. The WineFi Trade Price Index advanced 3.1% in Q1 2026, marking a third consecutive quarter of growth - a milestone not reached since Q1 2022.

Bid-offer spreads have narrowed to their tightest level in six quarters, and the ratio of bids to offers has risen 2.2x over the past twelve months.

Taken together, these are the hallmarks of a market in the early stages of a durable recovery.
