The National Inspection Directorate of the National Institute of Viticulture (INV) in Argentina has officially approved the use of the “Sustainable Argentine Viticulture” seal. This seal serves as a certification for sustainable practices within the country’s wine industry, offering a significant mark of distinction for vineyards and producers who adhere to the guidelines set forth in the Argentina Viticulture Sustainability Guide.
The certification can be obtained through seven authorized organizations, including well-known entities such as IRAM and BUREAU VERITAS. These bodies are responsible for verifying that the wineries and producers seeking certification meet the strict sustainability criteria outlined in the guide. Once certified, the products can proudly display the “Sustainable Argentine Viticulture” seal, which not only assures consumers of the product’s sustainable origin but also highlights the support from the INV for environmentally conscious practices within the industry.
This seal is an important step forward for Argentina’s wine industry, aligning it with global sustainability trends and offering producers a competitive edge in the international market. The seal certifies that a product has been produced using methods that are environmentally responsible, socially equitable, and economically viable, reflecting the industry’s commitment to long-term sustainability.
For consumers, the presence of the “Sustainable Argentine Viticulture” seal on a bottle of wine serves as a guarantee of quality and sustainability, ensuring that the product has been crafted with respect for both the environment and the communities involved in its production.
The approval of this seal by the INV is a milestone for the Argentine wine industry, reinforcing its dedication to sustainability and providing a clear, recognizable standard for consumers and producers alike.
