The Consorzio Vinum e Cibus Italici is rewriting the definition of sustainability in wine to create an industry as resilient as grapevines themselves. Designed to uplift communities, not just vineyards, their model is poised to protect, preserve and enhance wine as we know it.
Grapevines are a notoriously resilient crop: For millennia, they have thrived on the steep hillsides and rocky outposts too rugged for other crops, creating captivating wines as a result. Today, their native resilience is the inspiration behind the Consorzio Vinum e Cibus Italici, an organization striving to create a similarly resilient ecosystem to preserve and protect the entire wine industry.
