A new, valuable partnership has begun for the Consorzio Tutela Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG, which will become an official supporter of the historic Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW). The relationship between the IMW and the Consortium, guardian of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG denomination, which since its inception has promoted and enhanced its product through various initiatives in Italy and around the world, will be cemented in September with the first Masterclass, to be held at the IMW’s London headquarters. The Consortium’s goal is to offer Masters of Wine (MW) and MW students the opportunity to deepen and disseminate knowledge of the wines of this region and the winemaking practices that distinguish the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
An international partnership to promote Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG
“Supporting the IMW’s educational mission is extremely important to us. Thanks to my years of academic research, I understand the importance of cultivating culture and satisfying the curiosity of the next generation of wine professionals. Our producers, custodians of knowledge and traditions, are very proud of the interest shown by the Institute’s members and students, and we are honored to support it. This will be an opportunity to share the secrets and unique features of our territory and to demonstrate our profound understanding of the connection between the environment and the Glera grape variety, which gives rise to an Italian excellence,” states Diego Tomasi, Director of the Consortium.
Consortium President Franco Adami echoes his sentiments, adding:
“I would like to thank the IMW for welcoming us among its supporters. This partnership marks an important step in our ongoing commitment to education, excellence, and ongoing collaboration with international organizations. We are very proud to share the wealth of knowledge that distinguishes our denomination, Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG, with such a respected community of wine professionals. We hope that, through the IMW’s international network, this knowledge can be shared worldwide.”
Sarah Harrison, Interim Executive Director of the IMW, concludes:
“We are delighted to welcome the Consortium as a full member of our supporters. Their commitment to quality, excellence, and education strongly aligns with our values. We look forward to working together and strengthening the bonds between the IMW community and the Consortium.”
