Despite continued caution in the market, we have seen a pronounced rise in buyer numbers and enquiries across most of our areas of coverage. Italy continues to be one of the key lifestyle destinations within the international real estate marketplace and there is a definite sense amongst buyers that it is time to get back into the market and to purchase within the core destinations of the country; demonstrably correct pricing however, remains vital to achieving a sale within a reasonable timeframe.

This brief insight provides you with a basic guide into the first of these, which will hopefully assist you in figuring out where suits you best to buy your dream home. We can of course, also provide you with an unparalleled selection of properties from across Italy on the following pages. You will be surprised to learn that Italy produces as much wine as France and that between them they produce over 30% of the total worldwide production. Starting from our capital city, Rome, and working our way north, we have asked all our Italian representatives to provide you with a few lesser-known facts and tips to help you on your way. Bill Thomson Chairman of the Italian Network Surrounded by water, you would be forgiven for thinking that Venice would not be a wine producing region. On the island of Mazzorbo-Burano, in the heart of the Lagoon of Venice, is an ancient vineyard known as Venissa. It consists of two hectares of land enclosed by medieval walls rebuilt in 1727. Here the historic vine called the Venetian Dorona was planted, producing a white wine loved by the Doges of Venice since the fifteenth century. The only problem is the price, which exceeds €300 for a half litre bottle. Also not to be missed are the Prosecco wines from the wider Veneto region which the Venetians still drink every evening before dinner. Lake Como The Domasino white, red and rosé are the only wines actually produced on the shores of the lake. North of the lake is the Valtellina wine growing area. Look out for Valtellina Superiore DOCG. West Liguria Try the Rosé from the area of Dolceacqua or a Pigato white with fish. Limited land area means expensive wines and very expensive vineyards. Lucca Lucca is famous for many things but not for its wines. However, do try the Montecarlo reds and whites produced to the south of the city and to the north and east there are the wines of the Colline Lucchesi region which also produce a Vin Santo, best for dipping Cantuccini into at the end of a leisurely lunch. East Liguria There are some nice coastal whites in these steep valleys including some small production sweet dessert wines made from the Moscato grape. Chianti Tuscany is the region that includes Pisa on the west coast, Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Pienza, Montalcino and beyond. Chianti is a wine growing region within Tuscany; based around Florence and Siena. Chianti Classico is the central part of this wine denomination that is considered (for geographical reasons) to be the best. If you can, it is worth stopping off in one of the local wine shops (Enoteca), like the great one in the village where our country office is based at Radda in Chianti. You might imagine that these are purely tourist traps, however some of the good ones have an amazing selection with owners who really know their wines. Look out for 100% Sangiovese grape red wines. ISOLA D’ELBA Bolgheri Not to be missed is the west coast niche market made famous by the hugely expensive Sassicaia wine. Like the islands, coastal wines can be amazing. Undergoing expansion currently with mixed quality results, stick with the big names for the moment. Isola d’Elba Even from the ferry across to Elba, you can see the vineyard terraces clinging to the steep slopes of this tiny island which has been producing wine for centuries. Try the Enoteca in the old fort at Portoferraio or visit the wine cellars themselves to taste the wines of the Napoleonic estate, known as La Chiusa. Also look out for the Aleatico dell’Acquabona and the Vermentino di Monte Fabrello. SARDINIA Rome The most famous wines on the Roman market are the Colli Albani whites from the area around Lake Albano and the Castelli Romani (denomination DOC), produced in red, white and rosé in the province of Rome. PRICES PER HECTARE 4 ROME Colli Albano €70,000 – €90,000 ROME Castelli Romani €80,000 – €150,000 TUSCANY Brunello €300,000 – €700,000 TUSCANY Bolgheri €300,000+ CHIANTI €100,000 – €150,000 LIGURIA €700,000 – €800,000 MAREMMA Morellino di Scansano €20,000 – €100,000 MAREMMA Montecucco €60,000 – €75,000 ITALIAN VIEW 2013 Sardinia Maremma Islands often produce good white wines and Sardinia is no exception. Look out for Vermentino di Gallura or for a good red, Cannonau. Another important red is the Carignano del Sulcis from the south of the island. The area bordering Montalcino to the west is home to the recently recognised denomination of Montecucco, well-made modern reds with style. The area of Scansano also has its own good quality reds known as Morellino di Scansano. Then there are the so called ‘super Tuscan’ wines (mostly IGT) that should be treated with both respect and caution. Some of these are really very good and are appreciated by the international market, others less so. Montalcino The Brunello of Montalcino, a wonderful, deep red full of flavour, is so famous and so talked about that it often masks the presence of its less famous neighbours. Look out for the less expensive Rosso di Montalcino (often exactly the same wine) or the nearby Nobile di Montepulciano. There are also some lovely white wines now being produced in the Val d’Orcia. SICILY Umbria Umbria is best known for its white wine production and Orvieto remains the region’s largest DOC. The Trebbiano white grape is also referred to as Procanico in Umbria, although some believe it to be a superior clone with smaller grape bunches which produce a finer wine. Although best known for its white wines, Umbria’s two DOCGs are for red wines. The native grape, Sagrantino, has gained prominence in the Montefalco area, creating wines of great depth and strength.

Prime property prices have fallen by around 35% since the financial crisis but are starting to flatten out. The market is most competitive between €800,000 and €1.5m with some cash buyers evident and above this threshold properties are staying on the market for longer. The best properties along the narrow strip of Liguria’s coastline have risen 5% in value in the year to May 2013. Tight planning rules, along with the steep terrain, restrict new development. In 2012 demand was strongest in the €500,000 to €1.5m bracket but this has shifted in 2013 to the €1.5m to €3m price bracket. Online property searches in Umbria increased by 86% between January and April 2013 compared to the same period a year earlier. Properties in Orvieto, Lake Corbara and the area surrounding Perugia generated a large volume of searches. Italian Lakes Rome An hour from Milan’s Malpensa airport, Lake Como and Lake Maggiore are the key centres of demand. A healthy level of enquiries has been recorded across all price bands in the last year. New developments such as Bellagio Lake Resort (prices starting at €250,000) as well as Como Lake Resort (prices starting at €1.2m) have attracted significant interest. Prime buyers continue to target the Centro Storico with the areas surrounding Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna highly popular. Most international purchasers are looking for a property between €800,000 and €1.5m but within this price bracket they face competition from local Italian purchasers. Lake views are a prerequisite for most luxury buyers but with a finite supply of stock around the Lakes prices have held firm in the last year. The volume of sales has stayed relatively flat but prime prices fell by around 14% in 2012. The key change is that vendors are now more willing to acknowledge the impact the economic downturn has had on prices. Activity by Danish web users increased the most in onthe thefirst first four four months months of of 2013 2013 (up (up 96%) 96%) compared compared to to the the same same period period aa year year earlier. earlier.

Venice Sardinia Prime prices softened last year but, as we predicted, have started to recover since the end of 2012. Better quality properties are coming to the market and decisions are being made more quickly by buyers. Sardinia’s Porto Cervo and the surrounding Costa Smeralda are the location of choice for most prime international buyers. Russian buyers, although still evident, are not as active as they were. Instead, Scandinavian and British buyers are growing in number.

The volume of enquiries for Umbrian homes increased by 30% in 2012 year-on-year as buyers recognised the region’s ‘value-for-money’ compared to more expensive parts of Tuscany. Confidence is rising. Luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton have opened new stores and there is evidence of more interest from Asian buyers. The number of searches for Venetian homes on Knight Frank’s website by Chinese web users increased by 64% in 2012 year-on-year. 6 Chianti and the picturesque Val d’Orcia are the focus of many searches, here prices have dipped by around 10% in the last 12 months due to an increase in stock levels. Cortona has also proved popular with northern European buyers in recent months. Umbria International buyers – including French, British, Russian and German nationals – are typically seeking a two bedroom apartment that has been fully restored in the city centre and ideally one that overlooks the Grand Canal or is located in the sestieres of San Marco or Dorsoduro. Demand is strongest in the €800,000 to €1.5m price bracket. A growing number of buyers are looking to rent their second home between visits.

In 2012, 34% of all Italian property searches undertaken on Knight Frank’s website related to homes in Tuscany. Liguria, or the Italian Riviera as it is known, is currently one of Italy’s strongest property markets. The Italian coastline bordering France and only 30 minutes from Monaco is attracting interest from Swiss, German, Russian and Monégasque buyers. A waterside home on Lake Como remains top of many wealthy Italians’ wishlists making them a key component of demand; however, they are joined by a large number of Russian, British, German and US purchasers. Monthly Monthly activity activity Volume Volume of of property property searches searches Jan Jan 2011 2011 -- Apr Apr 2013 2013 Tuscany & Florence Liguria Since the financial downturn, prices at the eastern end of the Riviera have proved more resilient particularly in the sought-after towns of Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo and Portofino. In the west, the stretch of coastline from Bordighera to Imperia is popular, with views across to Monaco highly desirable. Prime market trends The price of luxury property fell by around 11% in 2012 and sales volumes in winter 2012-13 have been quiet but it is a highly seasonal market with online searches peaking between July and October. The typical requirement is for an already-restored beachfront villa between €5m and €10m. We expect the number of Middle Eastern buyers to increase once the Qatari-funded Smeralda Holdings commences its plans for Pevero Golf Club and the marina. Liguria recorded recorded the the strongest strongest rise rise in in searches searches in in the the first first Liguria four months months of of 2013 2013 compared compared to to the the same same four period a year earlier (up 31%).
