The Consorzio tutela vini Dop Suvereto e Val di Cornia Wine, in short Consorzio Suvereto e Val di Cornia, was born out of a renewed desire for community expressed by the local wineries during the pandemic period.
In order to intervene on the three area DO, Suvereto Docg, Rosso della Val di Cornia Docg and Val di Cornia Doc, the Consorzio promoted the recognition process pursuant to law 238/2016 ” Disciplina organica della coltivazione della vite e della produzione e commercio del vino”, obtaining (DM 21/01/2022) the functions of the protection, promotion and care of the general interests as provided for by the legislation.
The wide representativeness of the wine chain has allowed it to obtain the so-called “erga omnes” powers, which extend its functions to all operators registered in the control system of the three protected PDOs, regardless of their association.
In pursuit of its final objective, an economic and social growth of the reference territory, the Consorzio committed itself to the necessary promotion and protection activity. The former aim to increase the recognisability and perceived quality of the protected denominations among the press and consumers, thanks to a long terms communication plan focused on the link between wine and territory. The latter instead aim to reorganize the qualitative pyramid of the Val di Cornia, through a realignment of the production specifications to the current ampelographic and productive composition of the area.
