Consorzio di Tutela del Prosecco DOC

Prosecco was granted Controlled Designation of Origin status on 17 July 2009 and, on 19 November of the same year, the Consorzio di Tutela del Prosecco DOC was set up. The Protection Consortium is an institution whose role is to coordinate and manage the Controlled Designation of Origin.
It brings together voluntarily the different groups of producers - individual or associated vine-growers, wine and sparkling wine producers - to ensure the designation continues to grow and that the production regulations are complied with.
