The Consortium for the Protection fo the Marino Designation was founded on 22nd February 2000 with the Notarial Deed of Augusto Bellagamba on the initiative of 10 producers.
Initially it is established as an interprofessional industry Association, non–profit, for the protection, enhancement and care of the interests related to the D.O.C. and the Geographical Indication of the MARINO D.O.C. wine.
From the original 10 founding members of the consortium, we have come to the current 211 producers members, in addition to 5 companies of winemakers/bottlers that are representing approximately 90% of the production of Marino.
The Consortium for the Protection of Marino, being still young, is trying to represent in recent years an instrument of scrupulous and responsible self–discipline with the ultimate purpose of enhancing the activity and to look after the interests relating to the designation of origin and the geographical indication of the Marino D.O.C. Wine and those of the members producers and bottlers, for what they represent in Italian culture, in connection with the territory, with food, with the past and recent history.
The objective of the Consortium, therefore, is to strengthen the culture and with it the image of the Marino D.O.C. Wine, through control actions which ensure the quality of the Marino D.O.C. To this end, the Consortium encourages all promotional initiatives aimed at enhancing the Marino D.O.C. Wine product.
