Authorized Laboratory for Oenological Sector Analysis
CSI is a laboratory authorized to issue official certificates of analysis in the enological sector, such as chemical controls for compliance with current regulations and production regulations for DOC, DOCG and IGT wines.
The laboratory is authorized by the Ministry for Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies, to issue certification having official value and is accredited by Accredia n. 0006B according to the UNI CEI EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard for the listed tests.

CSI technicians work closely with consortia, regions and certification bodies, such as SIQURIA S.p.A. (http://www.siquria.it/), and use official methods regulated by the Organization Internationale de la vigne et du vin (www.OIV.int), but they are also able to provide support to direct producers, Wineries and winegrowers, quickly and with high quality standards, typical of the whole CSI reality.
In this context, sharing decades of experience in the wine sector, together with important partners such as the Centro Vini Veneti (CE.VI.VE.) and CSI's diversified background in the certification sector, allows us to achieve synergies capable of providing effective, timely and cost-effective responses to the needs of the wine and product certification sector, resulting from the changes provided for from year to year by specifications, CMO wine, and international regulations.
