Control laboratories

Quality Control is carried out in various geographical areas:

at our headquarters in Brescia, where is located the Applied Research in Oenology (A.R.O) focused on biotechnology applications in oenology, as well as the Quality Control Laboratory that performs tests on all food grade products and detergents;
at Gretz and at Kaysersberg-Vignoble, in France;
at São José dos Pinhais, in Brazil;
at Castellbisbal, in Spain;
at Cape Town, in South Africa;
at Mendoza, in Argentina.

Main activities

Our commitment to quality is expressed by rigorous controls at each stage of the production process. The main control areas are:

analyses of Active Dry Yeasts (ADY), based on cell counts, vitality, activity and contaminants;
qualitative analyses of Arabic gums and enzymes;
microbiological analysis of wines and musts, which closely follows the alcoholic fermentation and/or malolactic fermentation and detects any microbiological contaminations as well as any other type of anomaly during the various stages of production;
Quality Control of food products and detergents (raw materials, semi-finished and finished products);
Quality Control of filtration products for the food-processing industry;
System and product certifications.

Our certifications

The quality of our products and services is guaranteed by the numerous international certifications we have obtained ISO 9001 Quality Certification, which regulates the company’s organizational system in order to improve quality management. This is made possible, firstly by the introduction of specific documentation for all processes and secondly by the quality certificates to which we strictly adhere.
Food Certificates and a Non-GMO Certification are available for all our products.
In addition, we have available an Organic Certificate of Compliance, in regards to the products used in the production of organic wines according to Reg. (EU) N. 203/2012, as well as a HACCP Declaration, that certifies the good practice of food safety in order to control the physical, chemical and biological risks related to our activity.
Finally, to conform to the constant modifications of agro-food standards, we have an Audit department which is up to date on legislative matters. We also have an automated identification and traceability system for all production batches, from the raw material to the shipping of finished products.
