What is fivi?

Founded in 2008, the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers aims to protect the profession of the winegrower, by representing it in front of the institutions and promoting its specificity. FIVI dialogues with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Regions by participating in the technical tables, as well as with the EU institutions in Brussels through CEVI – European Confederation of Independent Winegrowers, which brings together the associations of all the main European wine-producing countries.

Participates in rural development policies at local, national and European level. It advocates economic measures and regulations in the interest of the Independent Winegrowers and the Italian wine system.

Who is a independent winegrower?

The Independent Winegrower cultivates his own vines, vinifies his own grapes, bottles his own wine and personally sells it under his own responsibility, under his own name and label. He carries out his activity in the form of a single or associated farm and in the exercise of his work he operates in accordance with the Italian laws of the sector. An Independent Winegrower does not buy grapes and/or wine for commercial purposes.

The trademark

Our trademark represents “Ampelio”, the image of a Winegrower carrying a basket of grapes on his shoulders and whose shadow takes the form of a bottle. This figure sums up what it means for FIVI to be Winegrowers, engaged daily in a process that follows the entire production chain, constantly working to preserve, protect and promote the territory they belong to.
