I DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND PRODUCT

I.1 Company

The positive experience originating from the association of a group of Emilian winegrowersgave rise, in the 1960s, to a cooperative business project: in 1961 the Consorzio Interprovinciale

Vini (CIV In erprovincial Wine Consortium ) was established. In 1971 the five Wineries(Castelfranco, Ganaceto, Sorbara, Carpi and Castelvetro) launched a merger project which led totheir incorporation into CIV in the same year. CIV, based in Modena, thus began to take on thedimensions of a national company while remaining firmly rooted in the territory of Emilia. In 1984,in view of the changed size of the company, which was enjoying exponential growth as well assignificant expansion in the market, steps were completed to upgrade the five production centresand modernize the bottling plant. The same period saw the birth of the CIV & CIV brand, whichwould increase the renown of the Consortium in the years to come.

t

The mission chosen by CIVs members is produce wines safeguarding environment and healthof the entire community, a tough commitment with a large social content.

To achieve the goal, producer members adopted winegrowing systems with a lowenvironmental impact such as biological farming and integrated production . The means avery limited turn to pesticides and fertilizers.Moreover the strong ties to the local territory have favoured the development of a particularenvironmental awareness, which finds concrete expression in a strong commitment to operatingvineyards so as to obtain the best possible production while respecting tradition and make optimal

use of innovations in production and control, in order to obtain a wine that satisfies the consumerspalate and simultaneously protects man and the ecosystem.With about 2000 member producers, over 3000 hectares of vineyard situated in the best

winegrowing areas in the provinces of Modena and Bologna and 5 vinification plants, CIV is todayone of Italys major winemakers, a leader in the production of Lambrusco and white sparklingwines.

CIV was one of the first three companies in Emilia Romagna to adhere to the collective Qualit Controllata (QC Controlled Quality) mark introduced by the region of Emilia-Romagna.

I.2 Mission:

To enhance wine production, offering consumers a guarantee of control over all phases -from production to bottling - and continual improvement in the organoleptic characteristics of thewines produced. To further cooperation with members by seeking to apply winegrowingregulations designed to protect producers health against the risks arising from the use ofagricultural chemicals, reduce the release of harmful substances into the environment and assurethe wholesomeness of the product yielded.

I.3 Product

The heart of the Grasparossa Righi line lies in the vineyards planted in the terre rosse of

Castelvetro; these reddish coloured soils, deriving from flood deposits, have shown to be highlysuitable for cultivating Grasparossa grapes, which lend wine a ruby red colour with purplishhighlights.

The quality of tradition has been constantly maintained and is today enhanced by the

D.O.C. appellation ( Denominazione dOrigine Controllata: Controlled Denomination of Origin) andtraceability all the way down the line, which guarantees consumers transparency with regard to allphases involved in the production of the wine they have purchased.

Vineyards are operated according to precise rules of integrated production and applying atraceability system.

Only the highest quality must obtained from the crushed grapes, the so-called mosto-fiore (flower of the must), is used in the vinification of Grasparossa Righi.

This wine has been produced in 3 variants (in the period 1/8/2006-31/7/2007), which differaccording to the type of packaging (type of label) and the sugar content (secco or dry vs.

amabile or semi-sweet).

After they are picked, the grapes are transported to the Castelvetro Winery for crushing.

The first vinification activity for Grasparossa Righi is particular in that part of the processingtakes place in the Castelfranco Winery as well as in the one in Castelvetro. The must is obtainedafter a first phase (Phase A Castelvetro). Part of the must is transported to Castelfranco, where itis stored at low temperatures. The must remaining at Castelvetro undergoes fermentation (PhaseB Castelvetro). A detail is shown in figure C.

Final transport refers to transport from the storage facility to the reseller. Delivery of theproduct to end customers has not been considered since it takes place by highly variable means,depending on the end customer.

The impact from the product end of life (once the wine has been drunk) consists solely inthe production of packaging waste: bottle and sealing components (cork, wire hood, etc.). Wedidnt take in account the packaging materials treatment phase because of variability of wastemanagement local regulations.

The life-cycle assessment includes the consumption of natural and energyresources, the emission of pollutants into the environment and the production of

waste. The reference energy mix used in the production phase is the Italian one (SimaPro.7 ETHdatabank)

It also includes activities related to supplies of auxiliary products (winemaking products,maintenance products, etc.) transported by lorries, including their production phases (from thedatabank); finally, it includes the transport of waste and by-products, via lorry.

II.3 Impacts This section illustrates the environmental impacts deriving from the life cycle of 1 litre of

Grasparossa Righi wine. They are expressed in terms of resource consumption (renewable andnon-renewable) and the production of waste and as potential impacts in specific impactcategories: greenhouse gas emissions (GWP), acidification (AP), stratospheric ozone depletion(ODP), photochemical oxidant formation (POCP) and eutrophication (NP).

For future EPD validation paperwork additional analysis will be carried out in order to resortto contribution of generic data as less as possible (i.e. analytical data on fertilizers component arenot available because most of them are covered by patents).

III.2 Information about the product system

The specific data necessary for conducting the LCA were obtained from monitoring andtraceability systems set up under schemes conforming to national and international standards forquality and environmental management systems. Chemical analyses were performed using officialstandard test methods (also relying on accredited laboratories). The collected data were organisedand processed via electronic spreadsheets operating with internationally recognised softwareprograms. The life-cycle assessment was conducted using a recognised computing model:Simapro, ver. 7.

The product system implemented will enable CIV&CIV to verify annually whether anychanges have occurred in environmental performance.

III.3 Recyclability declaration

Under local regulations the waste deriving from the packaging of Grasparossa Righi (glassbottle, natural cork stopper, wire hood) may be considered municipal solid waste. As such, the

individual waste components must be collected separately where possible: rather than beingdisposed of in landfills, the glass and metal can thus be sent to recovery and recycling facilitieswhile the cork may be sent to composting plants together with the wet fraction.

IV- INFORMATION FROM THE COMPANY AND FROM THE CERTIFICATION BODY

IV.1 Final considerations

Within the context of environmental protection and prevention strategies, CIV&CIV plays arole of primary importance since for years its operations have been guided by value-based choicessuch as the adoption of certified Environmental Management Systems and traceability systems.The wineries in Castelvetro (crushing and first vinification stage) and Modena (second vinificationstage and bottling) are currently operated according to an Environmental Management Systemcertified to UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 (the Modena winery has also adopted a Quality ManagementSystem certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2000). These tools make it possible to monitor the impacts

due to energy consumption, the use of raw materials, the production of air and water emissionsand the disposal of waste, based on an analysis of which CIV defines environmental improvementprogrammes.

The entire process tied to the production of Grasparossa Righi is covered by a certifiedtraceability system. In addition, during the vineyard phase, integrated production rules are appliedwhich entail periodic analyses of the chemical parameters of soils in order to ensure their naturalbalance is maintained and that groundwater supplies and the vines themselves are safeguarded.

The companys goal is to extend these tools to the other associated wineries as well.The EPD is aimed at large-scale retailers, trade operators, operators in the hotel, restaurant

and catering industries (HO.RE.CA.) and, finally, end consumers.

IV.2 Certification body

The present EPD and associated life-cycle assessment have been approved by the DetNorske Veritas Italy certification body for validation in accordance with reference standard MSR1999:2 published by the Swedish Environmental Management Council.

Registration number: Valid until: 2/03/2010
