  "summary": "Thieves stole about 30,000 bottles of wine from Marchesi Antinori's facility in Tuscany, Italy. The stolen wines were three of the company's reds: Tignanello, Solaia, and Guado al Tasso. According to CBS News, they sell for 120 to 300 euros or more depending on the vintages.\n\nThe theft occurred on a Saturday night, with the thieves disabling the winery's alarm system and surveillance cameras before entering with two large trucks. As per Gulf News, the company believes five or six people took part in the robbery. The stolen bottles were worth an estimated $5.8 million, per CBS News, or five million euros, per Gulf News.\n\nThe company discovered the theft on Monday, but made it public on Friday to avoid interfering with the investigation, as per CBS News. The CEO, Renzo Cotarella, described it as the country's largest wine theft on record.",
