THE HISTORY


  • 1924

    On November 9, 1924 the first meeting was held in San Pietro in Cariano to set the basis for a “Consortium for the defence of the typical wines of Valpolicella”.
  • 1925

    The Consortium for the Defence was regularly constituted on February 9, 1925.
  • 1963-1968

    After the promulgation of the Royal Legislative Decree no. 497 (March 7, 1924) containing regulations for the protection of typical wines, other laws and decrees followed one after the other until the issue of Presidential Decree no. 930 of July 12, 1963 (“Norme per la tutela delle denominazioni di origine dei mosti e dei vini”). This decree dealt with rules for the protection of appellations of origin of musts and wines and allowed the publication in 1968 of the regulations for the Valpolicella wines production.
