International conference organized by UGIVI, Cavour Piedmont Regional Oenoteque, Turin Academy of Agriculture, Turin Vermouth.

Vermouth di Torino PGI and Barolo Chinato PDO: past, present and future of flavored wines between Designations of Origin and collective brands. Since ancient times there are testimonies that highlight how the union of wines and spices was highly appreciated in ancient Egypt and Cyprus. The Greeks and Romans had the custom of adding resin, spices and honey to wine amphorae, giving life to complex and aromatic products and even today Retsina is a living testimony to this ancient tradition. These wines were appreciated for their taste, but also for their therapeutic and digestive properties. At the end of the 18th century, the Vermouth (or Vermut) of Turin appeared in Piedmont, thanks to the work of expert liqueur makers, combining the Moscato di Canelli wine - which recently became DOCG - with officinal herbs and spices, and primarily the mugwort. Vermouth di Turin spread first to France and Spain, then throughout the world.

Alongside this fascinating story, that of Barolo Chinato unfolds, thanks to pharmacists qualified in the medical use of cinchona who led to the creation of chinato wines. Barolo Chinato is produced within the Barolo DOCG specifications, while Vermouth di Torino is a Protected Geographical Indication, with a specific specification that regulates its production and composition. The conference will delve into the legal profiles of aromatized wines, with particular focus on issues relating to labeling and the protection of intellectual property.
