" We are very happy - says the Director of the Consortium Stefano Quaggio - to have closed 2022 with very positive bottled volumes for all 5 of our denominations. The overall figure marks 10% of bottled compared to 2021 for a total of 94,000 hl The Venezia Doc Denomination is certainly driving growth, the most important of the five in terms of volumes with its 82,000 hl, which recorded an increase of 13.8 percentage points more than in 2021. " The protagonists of the rise of this denomination are certainly the Pinot Grigio Venezia Doc which scored a 9.8 compared to the same period of 2021 but also the Spumante Bianco Venezia Doc which grew by 72% compared to the previous year. " In general - continues Quaggio - we can however say that it was a very promising year for red berried wines, in a year particularly affected by the increases in the costs of raw materials. In fact, despite an undoubtedly complex context Our markets have been able to hold up well.We enter 2023, therefore, with a good dose of trust and enthusiasm and with the intention of carrying out all those activities that can contribute to bringing attention to the value of the main types of wine protected by the Consortium, especially the Pinot Grigio Venezia Doc through the product release, storage and plant blocking practices evaluated during this beginning of the new year.At the same time, during 2023, the Consortium intends to develop a whole series of promotion and communication activities aimed at enthusiasts and insiders both through participation in the main trade fairs such as Prowein and Vinitaly, and through o the realization of tasting events and visits dedicated to the historical areas of the Piave and Lison Pramaggiore. Also this year there will be the annual appointment with Feel Venice, now in its sixth edition, which will be held on Saturday 1st July in Venice in the setting of the Mystical Garden of the Discalced Carmelite Friars.
