The Voluntary Consortium for the Protection of the Colli Euganei D.O.C. since 1972 is reference and guarantee for the production of DOC wines: it carries out activities of promotion and supervision in order that the consumer finds on his table wines that, in the name of the consortium’s brand, offer all the physical and organoleptic characteristics that only the land of the Euganean Hills can give.
There are several services that the Consortium of DOC wines makes available to its members so that the produced wines meet the requirements of the rules of production: including chemical and microbiological analysis performed by an internal laboratory, the technical and agronomic assistance with the application of new techniques in cultivation and vine pest management and the oenological advice and assistance that allows the implementation of all the new technologies for winemaking.
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.
