Consorzio di Tutela del Prosecco Doc

The Consortium for the Protection of Prosecco DOC was founded in 2009, following a small revolution that affected one of the top wines of Italian oenology. Prosecco produced in the Conegliano – Valdobbiadene area obtained the DOCG recognition, reflecting the quality and the historicity of a unique wine, starting from the link with the territory. At that point it has become necessary to protect the denomination of origin of the Prosecco wine produced historically between Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, protecting it from the competitors and the risk of counterfeiting. Hence the change of the denominaiton of the Prosecco DOC, that no longer refers to the vine, which could be produced all over the world, but to wine.



The new name of the grape, therefore, is Glera, while only the wine produced in the DOC area may bear the name of Prosecco.



The production area consists of nine provinces in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia: Treviso, Padua, Venice, Vicenza, Belluno, Pordenone, Gorizia, Trieste, Udine, therefore making of it the largest Italian DOC for territorial extension.



The new DOC, therefore, encompasses and replaces the existing IGT (Prosecco Colli Trevigiani, Prosecco Marca Trevigiana, Prosecco del Veneto, Prosecco Alto Livenza, Prosecco delle Venezie) in a single territory. The designation also provides the possibility to specify the area of origin of the grapes for the provinces of Treviso and Trieste.



Forty–eight members to over 6,000 wine companies and 930,000 hectoliters of wine produced only in 2009: with these numbers the new Prosecco DOC Consortium aims to challenge the international market, relying on the notoriety and the quality of a wine that does not fear competitors. The official logo is a kind of sun that with the rotation of 9 glasses stands for the only nine provinces where the Prosecco DOC can be produced.



A significant choice of the producers that joined Consortium is the decision to adopt the State flag, the band compulsory only for the DOCG: a voluntary choice that indicates the intention to further protect the quality of the product, certified by the alphanumeric identification code with which you can track the whole supply chain and combat fakes. The ministerial band is applied to bottles on the market from 1st August 2011.

Consorzio Del Torchiato di Fregona

Torchiato di Fregona is a "raisin" wine with a very peculiar story.

The place of birth and the rituality of production make it a valuable monument to the richness of our biodiversity in the wine world.



Torchiato has a succession of flavors, from sweet to dry, which fascinate and enchant.



It is produced by thirteen companies, mostly family run, gathered in a Consortium. In this agricultural structure, the places devoted to withering (barns and attics) and to the maturation of the grapes are still located in family houses.

Together, the farmers of the Consortium intend to promote, preserve and protect this cultural heritage, and at the same time to use modern knowledge to ensure the genuineness of Torchiato.

Consorzio di Tutela Vini Montello e Colli Asolani Doc

The Montello and the Asolo Hills are a hilly area full of charm and history, mentioned by Dante Alighieri in his Divine Comedy, whose wines are promoted by the Consortium.



After a sophisticated experimental work, a vine variety resistant to drought has been obtained, so increasing the level of maturity and the sugar content of grapes.

The production area covers the whole territory of Monfumo and part of the municipalities of Asolo, Caerano di San Marco, Castelcucco, Cavaso del Tomba, Cornuda, Crocetta del Montello, Fonte, Giavera del Montello, Maser, Montebelluna, Nervesa della Battaglia, Paderno del Grappa, Pederobba, Possagno, San Zeno degli Ezzelini, Volpago del Montello.

Colli di Conegliano Rosso comes from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Marzemino, for not less than 10%, Merlot in any case can not exceed 40%. Torchiato di Fregona is produced with Verdiso grapes (min 30%), Prosecco grapes (min 30%), Boschera grapes (min 25%). The Boschera vine is cultivated only in the area of Fregona, cold–resistant, and its production is scarce. Clusters are sparse and slightly reddened.



The area of ​​production of the Colli di Conegliano D.O.C. wines includes entirely or in part the territory of twenty Municipalities in the high hills of the Treviso area: Conegliano, Susegana, Pieve di Soligo, Farra di Soligo, Refrontolo, san Pietro di Feletto, Miane, Follina, Cison di Valmarino, Revine Lago, Tarzo, Vittorio Veneto, Fregona, Sarmede, Cappella Maggiore, Cordignano, Colle Umberto, San Fior, San Vendemiano, Vidor.



This area has always been a place of research and production of important wines: the reference, here, is to those wines which, although different, were equalized with the Ministerial Decree of 3rd August 1993, under the same Colli di Conegliano Designation of Controlled Origin: Bianco, Rosso, Refrontolo Passito, Torchiato di Fregona. For all wines produced with this designation, care starts the vineyard: the choice of the most favorable terrain, with high density of planting, unexpanded breeding forms of vineyards, modest yields of grapes per vine.

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.
