Consorzio di Tutela Del Vino Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco

In 1962 a group of 11 producers, representing the main wine–growers’ cooperatives and large sparkling wine houses, formed the Consortium for the Protection of Prosecco di Conegliano Valdobbiadene, introducing a product specification to protect the quality and the image of the wine. Seven years later, on April 2nd, 1969, their efforts were rewarded with the recognition by the Ministry of agriculture, of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene as the only one DOC area of production of Prosecco and Superiore di Cartizze. Today, the Consortium for the Protection brings together almost all the producers of the territory and its protection work has become increasingly important, determinant of the achievement of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, which took place in August 2010.



The Consortium is a private institution of public interest and brings together all categories of producers: vinegrowers, winemakers, bottlers. Through its technical facilities and its collaboration with research institutes, it plays an important role in improving the labor in the vineyard and in the wine cellar, providing services of support and training.
The Consortium follows all the phases of production from planting to pruning, up to the choice of the vintage period and the control of winemaking practices.



In addition to promoting the development of viticulture and wine–making techniques, the work of the Consortium is to ensure and improve the quality of Conegliano Valdobbiadene and for this reason it works with Valoritalia, a foundation established in 2005 by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry for the control of quality and the traceability of the product. As a keen observer of the market and of the evolution of tastes and lifestyles, the Consortium is a major landmark and its role is also to make know and to protect the image of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene in Italy and abroad, thanks to the organization of events and plans of communication.



In parallel with the recognition of the DOCG , the Consortium has launched a major program of analysis and development of the values of the ​​Conegliano Valdobbiadene Brand, with the objective to focus on the development of the territory and to environmental sustainability, the enhancement of the history as a guide for shaping the future and the commitment to preserve over time the superior quality of this great wine.

Consorzio Tutela Vini Del Piave Doc

The qualification of agricultural production is always the most important goal for producers who dedicate, often for generations, their lives to the improvement of products. But excellence, in addition to being obtained in the recognized ways, must also be maintained, protected, guaranteed. This is the meaning and purpose of the free union in the consortium. The Consortium for the Protection of the Piave wines was founded, in 1959, by the same spontaneous will. Once formed, the Consortium invited immediately manufacturers to improve the quality standards of their wines. The best productions of the wines of the Piave showed up on the market with a consortium trademark that certifies that the company has voluntarily subjected its products to chemical and organoleptic tests made by special consortium committees. In 1963, the State Law n° 930 combined the action of the Chambers of Commerce in favor of the wine sector with the tasks that the voluntary Consortium of protection was due to perform in the same field.

Since then, the activities of an institutional nature and the ones of promotion were conducted by the two organizations with one common goal: to promote viticulture in suitable areas of the province and to enhance the quality wines on the market. The result of this commitment today consists of the wines with the “Vini del Piave” designation of origin. The role of the Chamber of Commerce is primarily to guarantee compliance by manufacturers with the rules established by the product specification recognized with a special ministerial decree. In addition, the institution has set a register of vineyards in which may be included, for each type of wine, the lands cultivated with vines within the area of ​​production.

The first guarantee, therefore, is the compliance with the maximum yield of grapes. The second is given by the intervention of the Chamber of Commerce of the special tasting committees composed of technicals and experts who evaluate the organoleptic characteristics of products in relation to the requirements of the product specification. Only with a suitability outcome the lot can be marketed with the DOC.

Consorzio Volontario Tutela Vini Doc Lison Pramaggiore

The Voluntary Consortium for the Protection of Wines with Designation of Origin "Lison - Pramaggiore" was established on 3rd November 1974 to promote and protect the three D.O.C. wines then recognized: Tocai di Lison, Merlot and Cabernet Pramaggiore.



The principal activity of the consortium is to ensure that the wines of the members are placed on the market in full compliance with national and EU legislation. Thus exercises a supervisory action in order to prevent abuse and fraud with the improper use of the Lison–Pramaggiore, defending the collective interests.

In addition, the Consortium offers its members a technical support service in viticulture and enology, and last but not least, tries to provide each producer, through research and experimentation, the right information to exploit the peculiarities of its own vineyard.

Particular attention also paid to integrated pest management in viticulture to ensure that we can bring to maturity the grapes with the least possible number of pesticide treatments. With pride, we can say that on this delicate issue, which affects the healthiness of the final product and environmental protection, producers have shown particular sensitivity scrupulously following the advice that they are given to them by the technicians of the consortium.
At the headquarters of the Consortium, a modern, well equipped laboratory for enochemical and soil analysis operates, accredited according to a UNI EN 17025 law and officially licensed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

The Consortium has also developed, presenting a project in the frame of the Leader II program, a common bottle for the Fior d’Arancio in order to enhance the image of this native vine. On 1st April 2011 the Colli Euganei Fior d’Arancio became D.O.C.G.

Consorzio Tutela Bardolino Doc

The Consortium for the Protection of Bardolino DOC was founded in 1969, just a year after the adoption of the DOC for the Bardolino wine (dated May 28th, 1968) and engaged in the promotion and enhancement of the DOC Bardolino wines and of the area of ​​production.



After the task of supervision conferred by the Ministry in 1980, then reconfirmed with the Ministerial Decree of 9th January 2004, which provided for the control plan on the whole supply chain (grower, winemaker, bottler and distributor), the Consortium has intensified its work focused on the control of all areas planted with vines to ascertain the yields, on the survay on the maturation pace, on the response to the complaints of the grapes and wines, on the control of the phases of maturation of the wines in the cellar and the verification of compliance of the product marketed with the qualitative parameters listed in the product specification.



A strong commitment to the implementation of the control plan as a result of the Ministerial Task of 2002, in particular in order to ensure the traceability of all the Bardolino DOC wines released to the market, from the bottle to consumption dating back to the vinegrower and winemaker who produced the raw material.



In addition, an activity of the Consortium is the control on consumer markets through the taking and subsequent verification of bottles from the shelves around the world, in collaboration with Federdoc.
