DO wine certification, three-year renewal for IRVO

The Board of Directors of the Consorzio Vini Doc Sicilia met this morning during Vinitaly in Verona. On the agenda is the renewal of the IRVO for the certification activity of DO wines. The Regional Institute of Wines and Oils is thus once again committed to controls and certification. The commitment would expire in a month. This is a very important activity that protects producers and consumers. In the first months of the current year, thirty-eight percent more wines were certified.

“We are satisfied with this step – comments the extraordinary commissioner of the body, Antonino Di Giacomo – once again the value of its role is recognized by IRVO and once again it finds itself in support of this quality Sicilian wine world”. The renewal, which will begin in August, will last three years. “Maximum confidence in the work carried out so far by the Regional Institute of Wine and Oil and which it will continue. – begins Antonio Rallo, president of the Sicilia Doc Consortium – We enjoy an IT platform that everyone envies us. The certification for DO wines constitutes a weapon and a protection at the same time, both for the producer who decides to produce in the name of quality and for the consumer".
