Sono 16 i vini italiani che appaiono nella nuova Top 100 2013 di Wine Spectator considerata la bibbia mondiale dei vini migliori del mondo. Anche quest’anno, come nel 2012, l’Italia è rappresentata da 16 etichette che si piazzano in classifica. Nella parte alta, c’è solo il Barolo Monprivato 2008 di Giuseppe Mascarello & Figlio che si piazza al sesto posto.
La vera novità di questa edizione è l’ingresso per la prima volta di Oscar Farinetti, il patron di Eataly, in qualità produttore di vino. Si piazza al n. 86 della classifica con il suo Barolo La Rosa 2008 di Fontanafredda.
La regione meglio rappresentata è la Toscana con 2 Brunello di Montalcino, 1 Chianti Classico, 1 Nobile di Montepulciano, 1 Bolgheri e 2 Igt Toscana seguita dal Piemonte (4 Barolo e 1 Barbaresco).
