Italian term or phrase: Buon prezzo che non va a discapito della qualità
Sto cercando di rendere questo concetto in inglese nel modo più efficace possibile. Il prodotto di cui si parla è una selezione di vini pregiati che vengono proposti ad un buon prezzo ma questo non deve forviare il compratore pensando che siano di cattiva qualità.

Vi ringrazio e vi auguro buona serata.

at a price that belies the quality


Explanation:
in the context of the phrase quoted in the discussion entry I would suggest this. The 'fine' quality has already been mentioned, so no need to labour it again so soon after, I would say.

Asker: Fantastic! I like the sentence now: XXX gathers small Italian wineries with a great passion for excellence and offers a comprehensive selection of fine wines at a price that belies the quality. I think that it sounds very good! Thank you!
