The Italian consortia protect the identity of its producers and wine regions
Italian wine is not just a production industry: it is a cultural, economic and territorial system based on a co-operative structure that is unique. The Protection Consortia model is one of the most advanced tools ever developed to guarantee quality, identity and collective value. It is a system that allows even the smallest producers to be represented, protected and valued through a shared structure that aims to defend and promote designations and wine regions.
