»» EU to Legalize Wood Fragments for Artificial Aging of Wine
The use of wood fragments for the artificial aging of wine is to become legal in Europe.
The proposal was recently examined in Brussels by the Wine Sector Management Committee.
Several Italian associations, such as Legambiente or Confagricoltura, just to name a few of them, are opposing to these procedures used by European producers.
They are asking the new Italian government to
“block the road leading to the use of this practice that has nothing to do with traditional Italian wine-making”.
