Thieves steal 30,000 bottles of wine in Italy's largest-ever heist

A group of at least seven thieves stole approximately 30,000 bottles of premium wine from the Marchesi Antinori winery in Tuscany, Italy. The heist, which took place on a Saturday night and was discovered Monday morning, is described as the largest in Italian history with an estimated value of over $5.5 million (€5 million). The thieves reportedly disabled security systems and used company forklifts to load the 2023 vintage wines, including the Tignanello, Solaia, and Guado al Tasso labels, onto two trucks. Authorities are currently investigating the theft, which follows a string of similar crimes targeting Italian wine producers.
