In our ongoing commitment to enhance wine traceability and combat fraud, the TRACEWINDU consortium, comprising experts from UAB, UNIPI, UT2A, INTI, and INTA, recently engaged in a pivotal meeting with Argentina’s Instituto Nacional de Vitivinicultura (INV). This esteemed institution plays a crucial role in guiding and regulating the vitivinicultural industry, ensuring the production of genuine and consumer-safe products. 

🛡️ Navigating Regulatory Landscapes & Industry Challenges 

The discussions delved into the current regulatory frameworks governing Argentina’s wine sector, shedding light on the pressures and constraints faced by producers. The INV outlined its strategies to uphold wine authenticity, emphasizing the enforcement of designations such as Indicación de Procedencia (IP), Indicación Geográfica (IG), and Denominación de Origen Controlada (DOC). These measures are pivotal in maintaining the integrity and quality of Argentine wines.
