Thieves reportedly stole around 30,000 bottles of premium wine worth approximately €5 million ($5.8 million) from one of Italy’s most prestigious wine producers, Marchesi Antinori, in an overnight heist in Tuscany. The gang allegedly disabled security systems before using the winery’s own forklifts to load the bottles onto two trucks and escape. The theft took place at a logistics facility near Cortona, with the loss discovered by employees on October 5, 2026. The stolen shipment reportedly included the 2023 vintages of three celebrated wines: Solaia, Tignanello and Guado al Tasso. Investigators are examining how the thieves carried out the operation and whether they had advance information about the shipment.
