Organic production, governed by EC regulation no. 834/2007 and subsequent amendments, is a global sustainable management system for agriculture based on the interaction between the adoption of the best cultivation practices in terms of environmental impact; the responsible use of energy and natural resources such as water, soil, organic matter and air; maintaining a high level of biodiversity; the application of strict animal welfare criteria.

ICEA was born from the experience of AIAB (Italian Association for Organic Agriculture): ICEA's commitment, therefore, starts from organic farming and from the idea of a sustainable and supportive economy model, and goes beyond organic farming, heading towards a 'economy and lifestyles that require a responsible conversion of methods, systems and practices the acronym used to indicate theInstitute of Ethical and Environmental Certification.

It is used to designate a quality and renowned product, whose characteristics are connected to the natural environment and human factors and comply with specific production regulations approved by ministerial decree. These wines, before being put on the market, must be subjected during the production phase to a preliminary chemical-physical analysis and an organoleptic examination which certifies compliance with the requirements set out in the specifications; failure to comply with the requirements prevents it from being marketed with the DOC label.

The controlled and guaranteed designation of origin, known by the acronym DOCG, is an Italian brand that indicates to the consumer the geographical origin of a wine. The DOCG are reserved for wines already recognized as a controlled designation of origin (DOC) for at least ten years which are considered of particular value, in relation to the intrinsic qualitative characteristics, compared to the average of those of similar wines thus classified, due to the incidence of traditional natural, human and historical factors and which have acquired renown and commercial valorisation at a national and international level. These wines, before being put on the market, must be subjected during the production phase to a preliminary chemical-physical analysis and an organoleptic examination which certifies compliance with the requirements set out in the specifications; Furthermore, the organoleptic test must be repeated, batch by batch, even during the bottling phase. Finally, for DOCG wines, a sensorial analysis (tasting) carried out by a special commission is also envisaged; failure to comply with the requirements prevents it from being marketed under the DOCG brand.

The Protected Designation of Origin is a name that identifies a product originating in a place, region or, in exceptional cases, in a particular country, whose quality or characteristics are essentially or exclusively due to a particular geographical environment and its intrinsic natural and human factors and whose production stages take place in the defined geographical area. Currently, 578 products have been recognized with the PDO denomination, of which 170 agri-food products and 408 wines. The Denominations system helps to support production in the territories of our country, with the main purpose of rewarding the efforts made by producers to obtain a diversified range of quality products and have positive effects on the rural economy.

EU Ecolabel is the ecological quality mark of the European Union (EU Ecolabel) which distinguishes products and services which, while guaranteeing high performance standards, are characterized by a reduced environmental impact during the entire life cycle.

The Protected Geographical Indication is a name that identifies a product which also originates from a specific place, region or country, to whose geographical origin a given quality is essentially attributable; reputation or other characteristics and whose production takes place for at least one of its phases in the defined geographical area. Currently, 257 products have been recognized as Geographical Indications, of which 139 agri-food products and 118 wines. The Designation system helps to support production in the territories of our country, with the main aim of rewarding the efforts made by producers to obtain a diversified range of quality products and have positive effects on the rural economy.

The typical geographical indication, better known by the acronym IGT, is the third of the five wine classifications implemented in Italy; indicates wines produced in generally large areas but according to specified requirements. The basic requirements for the recognition of an IGT wine are reserved for wines whose production takes place in the respective geographical indication, the grapes from which it is obtained come for at least 85% exclusively from that geographical area, with the organoleptic characteristics indicated. The requirements are less restrictive than those required for wines with a controlled designation of origin (DOC). The IGT is important as it is the first step (of the pyramid) that separates the wine without indication (generic) from the wine with indication. Since 2010 the IGT classification has been included in the PGI community category.

Traditional Italian agri-food products (PAT) are products included in a specific list, established by the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (MIPAAF) with the collaboration of the Regions. MiPAAF has decided to focus clearly on niche sectors, valorising traditional products in which agricultural or livestock products were processed according to ancient recipes. The requirement to be recognized as Traditional Agri-Food Products (PAT) is to be «obtained with processing, conservation and seasoning methods consolidated over time, homogeneous for the entire territory concerned, according to traditional rules, for a period of no less than twenty-five years» . But it is the ministry itself that recognizes that these "niche products", of limited production in quantitative terms and relating to very limited territorial areas, do not justify a PDO or PGI.
