Consorzio Tutela del Vino Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco has become an official supporter of The Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW). 

The Consorzio was founded in 1962 and is the custodian of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG designation. 

Its purpose is to unite vine growers, winemakers and bottlers, while safeguarding the quality and image of the appellation’s wines through initiatives focused on protection, promotion and sustainability. 

The Consorzio will host a masterclass at the IMW’s London headquarters this September, providing knowledge of Conegliano Valdobbiadene’s wines, producers and practices to MWs and MW students. 

Diego Tomasi, director of the Consorzio said: “Supporting the educational mission of the IMW is extremely important to us. I appreciate, from my former years in academic research, how impactful it is to nurture knowledge understanding in the next generation of wine professionals. 

“Our growers share this admiration for the commitment to excellence shown by the Institute’s members and students, and we are honoured to support it, while offering a deeper dive into our own wines, that come from a unique terroir.” 

Sarah Harrison, interim executive director of the IMW, added: “We are delighted to welcome the Consorzio to our supporter network. Their commitment to quality, excellence and education align strongly with our values. We look forward to working together and strengthening the bonds between the IMW community and the Consorzio.”
