When questioned by Winemag, the Ukrainian winery cited<strong> &#8220;harvests under bombs and drones&#8221;<\/strong> and &#8220;<strong>an invitation from Cervim to send samples.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>War, however, does not appear among the criteria in the regulations<\/strong> of the Mondial des Vins Extr\u00eames 2026, which are linked exclusively to the topographical conditions of the vineyards, such as slope and altitude. Cervim instead speaks of &#8220;self-certification of the vineyard&#8217;s heroic nature,&#8221; denying the invitation to the Ukrainian winery and opening a case within a case: <strong>did the Ukrainians, already known for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/winery-rejects-concours-mondial-de-bruxelles-2026-medals\/\">refusing medals from the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2026<\/a>, lie<\/strong> to participate in the 2026 edition of the competition?<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-b35ce8b7\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>THE OIV&#8217;S OVERSIGHT ROLE<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The affair raises management and political questions that go far beyond the activities of <strong>Cervim, a publicly controlled body of the Aosta Valley Region<\/strong>, which appoints its representatives. The Mondial des Vins Extr\u00eames enjoys the prestigious <strong>OIV patronage<\/strong>, the International Organisation of Vine and Wine, present in Aosta during the tastings with its own observer member: the French <strong>Christine Collins<\/strong>. It is her responsibility to verify compliance with OIV standards.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More generally, the award for a &#8220;legally&#8221; unpresentable wine fans the flames of broader controversies concerning the recent years of the <strong>Center for Research, Environmental Sustainability and Development of Mountain Viticulture<\/strong> (Cervim) in Aosta. According to reports gathered by Winemag, several producers are contesting an overly permissive application of the competition&#8217;s admission criteria and a loss of founding values in favor of focusing on the &#8220;business&#8221; of entries.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>These issues are also reflected at the national administrative level<\/strong>. The protection of heroic and historic vineyards, provided for by Law 238\/2016 and governed by the 2020 decree, has seen inconsistent regional implementation. These delays feel like an insult to the &#8220;heroic winegrowers&#8221; seeking recognition at the Mondial des Vins Extr\u00eames.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"upuZsW2DtK\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/protection-of-heroic-vineyards-everything-at-a-standstill-in-cervims-valle-daosta-regions-immobile\/\">Protection of heroic vineyards, everything at a standstill in Cervim&#8217;s Valle d&#8217;Aosta.

We have to harvest under bombs and drones. <strong>So Cervim invited us to participate in the competition<\/strong>. The concept is different, but the meaning is the same: heroic people fighting for a heroic wine.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The invitation attributed to Cervim remains a statement by the company, unconfirmed in Aosta. In fact, the organization is careful not to confirm the invitation.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-bc22fc64\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>WHAT THE MONDIAL REGULATIONS PROVIDE<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 3 of the 2026 Mondial des Vins Extr\u00eames regulations by Cervim admits wines obtained from grapes coming from vineyards with at least one of the following characteristics: &#8220;Altitude higher than 500 meters, excluding plateaus; slope greater than 30%; cultivation on terraces or steps; location on small islands.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The requirements are alternative. <strong>A vineyard does not have to be simultaneously mountain-based, terraced, and with a slope greater than 30%.<\/strong> Origin from a war zone, however, is not on the list.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Russia-Ukraine conflict<\/strong>, as the sole basis for admission, might be ethically sufficient. But the regulations are clear: <strong>there is no derogation for war-torn territories<\/strong> where wine continues to be produced &#8220;heroically.&#8221; The courage to harvest grapes and vinify them during a war is not enough, on its own, to guarantee a regular admission of samples to the Cervim competition.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-00393627\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>THE RESPONSE ON THE VINEYARDS AND ITS LIMIT<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winemag asked the Ukrainian winery Big Wines if the grapes for the awarded wine came from terraced mountain vineyards with slopes exceeding 30%. The answer? &#8220;<strong>The wine awarded by Cervim does not come from terraced vineyards or from vines with slopes of 30% or higher<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The winery has therefore <strong>denied the prerequisites for the admission of the awarded wine<\/strong> to the 2026 edition of the competition, held in Aosta on August 25 and 26. The only reason would concern the war, without the Ukrainian Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards being considered heroic based on Cervim&#8217;s regulations.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-869d46b9\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>CERVIM<\/strong> AND <strong>SELF-CERTIFICATIONS: ACCUSATION AGAINST BIG WINES<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Responding to Winemag&#8217;s request for clarification sent on September 26, Cervim&#8217;s press office, Studio Cru, sent a statement that leaves no room for interpretation: &#8220;<strong>Companies participating in the Mondial des Vins Extr\u00eames self-certify that the products sent belong to the category of extreme wines<\/strong>, according to the criteria established by Article 3 of the regulations.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Words that sound like a direct accusation by Cervim against the Ukrainian winery<\/strong>, aimed at shifting all responsibility for verifying the admission criteria of the samples to its competition. Without mincing words, <strong>Big Wines would thus be accused of having entered samples based on a false declaration<\/strong> regarding the heroic nature of the awarded Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-b681643d\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>OIV, 30% IS THE MAXIMUM FOR MEDALS<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doubts about the 2026 edition of the Mondial des Vins Extr\u00eames do not end there. Article 13 of the OIV standard, updated with resolution OIV-OENO 671A-2025, stipulates that medals must not exceed <strong>30% of the samples presented<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the ceiling is exceeded, samples with the lowest scores must be excluded from the awards, based on a centesimal average. Yet, the results of the Mondial des Vins Extr\u00eames 2026 report <strong>84 Grand Gold Medals and 295 Gold Medals<\/strong>: a total of <strong>379 medals out of 1,175 wines entered<\/strong>, equal to <strong>32.26%<\/strong>. The <strong>twenty special prizes announced<\/strong> were not included in the calculation, and the ratio between medals and entries would still be higher than the declared limit.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, in a competition with a maximum number of awards established by the OIV, <strong>awarding a sample that lacks the admission requirements\u2014as in the case of Big Wines&#8217; Ukrainian wine\u2014could affect the chances of other participants<\/strong>. The verification of admissions therefore concerns the fairness of the selection and the commercial value of the medals.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-a0b3ef70\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>CERVIM, PRIVATE NATURE AND PUBLIC CONTROL<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cervim is based in the Aosta Valley, but its activities and membership involve other territories as well. The statutes published by the body indicate its <strong>legal status as a private law entity<\/strong> and its non-profit nature, within the framework of Aosta Valley regional law no. 17 of August 11, 2004. Its aims include the <strong>protection and promotion of mountain viticulture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aosta Valley includes it in the list of <strong>private law entities under public control<\/strong>. The regional file identifies three representatives in the governing bodies: the president <strong>Nicola Abbrescia<\/strong> and the councilors <strong>Sara Patat<\/strong> and <strong>Roberto Gaudio<\/strong>, appointed by the region.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-eed58786\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>HOW CERVIM IS FUNDED<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funding combines public grants, membership fees, and revenue from activities. The 2024 budget published by the Aosta Valley Region documents <strong>69,500 euros in regional operating grants<\/strong>, divided between institutional and commercial activities, and <strong>68,500 euros in membership fees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entries for the Mondial des Vins Extr\u00eames generated <strong>64,532.93 euros<\/strong>, while those for the spirits competition generated <strong>5,315 euros<\/strong>. The sale of stickers produced <strong>7,214.78 euros<\/strong>. These are ordinary accounting items that also describe the economic scale of the competition activity.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the 2025 final budget submitted to the assembly, the data show <strong>280,916.51 euros in revenue<\/strong>, <strong>77,900 euros in membership contributions<\/strong>, and <strong>56,630.44 euros in contributions from the Aosta Valley<\/strong>. These figures are cited in a resolution by the Veneto Region, which participates in Cervim as a member and has defined the voting instructions for its representative on the budget.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same act separately indicates a Veneto membership fee of <strong>5,500 euros for 2026<\/strong>. Public support <strong>reinforces the interest in transparent management<\/strong>. Unless heroic viticulture has become a business in the hands of a small group of medal-givers in the tasting rooms of an Aosta hotel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irregular medal at the Aosta competition sponsored by OIV and Vinofed.
