Mezzacorona is “the best Italian cooperative in the past 25 years”, according to Mundus Vini

If the cooperative sector of Italian wine accounts for half of the country overall production, it is also thanks to its broad evolution over time. Several leading organizations were able, long before it became common practice, to focus on improving production quality, strengthening price positioning, and expanding into international markets. Among these, Mezzacorona undoubtedly stands out as one of the gems of Italy and Trentino virtuous wine cooperatives, and not only (it also owns the Rotari winery, one of the symbols of Trentodoc, and Feudo Arancio in Sicily, as well as the sub-holding Nosio, which manages the commercialization of Mezzacorona Group products in more than 60 countries worldwide, either directly or through its subsidiaries). At ProWein 2026, in Düsseldorf, Mezzacorona further enriched Italy tally at the Mundus Vini competition (which rewarded many Italian wines and named Fantini Wines “Best Italian Producer” 2026), receiving the special award as the “best Italian cooperative of the past 25 years”.
