In January 2003, together with producers and winemakers, the Consortium for the protection and enhancement of the DOC Cir was founded.
After a few years, in 2007, the protection and enhancement was extended also to the DOC Melissa, a territory adjacent to the DOC Cir. An institution of protection, traceability and concrete support to local wine production, the Consortium works with the intent to protect and enhance a wine, whose identity is tied to the history, the culture of an area, which has always been defined a land of wines. One of the main aims will be to follow the guidelines and directives, to ensure greater safety to the consumer on the methods of production of grapes and wines. The Consortium plays, in effect, Erga Omnes control activities, to members and non–members. The awards achieved in many national and international markets and the appreciation that industry operators and experts recognize to the Cir and Melissa wines, serve as an incentive to work well with the sole purpose of offering consumers a unique and inimitable wine. The strength and beauty of the production, also visible in the many labels, is all in this fascinating link between men, the land and its history.
