The best wineries in Treviso.
The Consortium for the Protection of Prosecco DOC was founded in 2009, following a small revolution that affected one of the top wines of Italian oenology. Prosecco produced in the Conegliano – Valdobbiadene area obtained the DOCG recognition, reflecting the quality and the historicity of a unique wine, starting from the link with the territory. At that point it has become necessary to protect the denomination of origin of the Prosecco wine produced historically between Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, protecting it from the competitors and the risk of counterfeiting. Hence the change of the denominaiton of the Prosecco DOC, that no longer refers to the vine, which could be produced all over the world, but to wine.
The new name of the grape, therefore, is Glera, while only the wine produced in the DOC area may bear the name of Prosecco.
The production area consists of nine provinces in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia: Treviso, Padua, Venice, Vicenza, Belluno, Pordenone, Gorizia, Trieste, Udine, therefore making of it the largest Italian DOC for territorial extension.
The new DOC, therefore, encompasses and replaces the existing IGT (Prosecco Colli Trevigiani, Prosecco Marca Trevigiana, Prosecco del Veneto, Prosecco Alto Livenza, Prosecco delle Venezie) in a single territory. The designation also provides the possibility to specify the area of origin of the grapes for the provinces of Treviso and Trieste.
Forty–eight members to over 6,000 wine companies and 930,000 hectoliters of wine produced only in 2009: with these numbers the new Prosecco DOC Consortium aims to challenge the international market, relying on the notoriety and the quality of a wine that does not fear competitors. The official logo is a kind of sun that with the rotation of 9 glasses stands for the only nine provinces where the Prosecco DOC can be produced.
A significant choice of the producers that joined Consortium is the decision to adopt the State flag, the band compulsory only for the DOCG: a voluntary choice that indicates the intention to further protect the quality of the product, certified by the alphanumeric identification code with which you can track the whole supply chain and combat fakes. The ministerial band is applied to bottles on the market from 1st August 2011.
The qualification of agricultural production is always the most important goal for producers who dedicate, often for generations, their lives to the improvement of products. But excellence, in addition to being obtained in the recognized ways, must also be maintained, protected, guaranteed. This is the meaning and purpose of the free union in the consortium. The Consortium for the Protection of the Piave wines was founded, in 1959, by the same spontaneous will. Once formed, the Consortium invited immediately manufacturers to improve the quality standards of their wines. The best productions of the wines of the Piave showed up on the market with a consortium trademark that certifies that the company has voluntarily subjected its products to chemical and organoleptic tests made by special consortium committees. In 1963, the State Law n° 930 combined the action of the Chambers of Commerce in favor of the wine sector with the tasks that the voluntary Consortium of protection was due to perform in the same field.
Since then, the activities of an institutional nature and the ones of promotion were conducted by the two organizations with one common goal: to promote viticulture in suitable areas of the province and to enhance the quality wines on the market. The result of this commitment today consists of the wines with the “Vini del Piave” designation of origin. The role of the Chamber of Commerce is primarily to guarantee compliance by manufacturers with the rules established by the product specification recognized with a special ministerial decree. In addition, the institution has set a register of vineyards in which may be included, for each type of wine, the lands cultivated with vines within the area of production.
The first guarantee, therefore, is the compliance with the maximum yield of grapes. The second is given by the intervention of the Chamber of Commerce of the special tasting committees composed of technicals and experts who evaluate the organoleptic characteristics of products in relation to the requirements of the product specification. Only with a suitability outcome the lot can be marketed with the DOC.
