Who / What is Prosecco DOC?
The Consorzio di Tutela Prosecco is an institution which aims to coordinate and manage the Denomination of Controlled Origin. It was founded on November 19, 2009, shortly after Prosecco was recognized as a Denomination of Controlled Origin on July 17, 2009. The Consorzio di Tutela Prosecco DOC aims to unite producers, growers, winemakers, and sparkling wine producers voluntarily to foster the development of the Denomination and endure adherence to official product specifications.
