result, bottling can be carried out in the area of origin with the best technological solutions for preserving all of the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of the wines included in the specification. Bottling facilities outside of the production area can indeed provide the same technological packaging conditions. Nevertheless, the aforementioned optimal conditions will certainly be met more effectively if bottling is carried out by establishments based in the production area. Such establishments, as well as having a profound understanding of the specific qualities of this wine, have a direct interest in preserving the level of quality, the image and the reputation of the designation. In accordance with the relevant EU legislation, bottling in the production area is intended to allow the competent body to monitor with the maximum effectiveness, efficiency and economy. These requirements cannot be assured to the same extent outside the production area. The control body that performs the annual check on compliance with the provisions of the specification can very swiftly schedule the inspection visits to all of the undertakings involved in the production area as Canelli wine is being bottled, in accordance with the respective inspection plan. The aim is systematic verification that only consignments of Canelli wine which have first been certified as having passed the physical, chemical and organoleptic tests performed by the inspection body can be bottled. This makes it possible to achieve better results in terms of the efficacy of the checks, at a limited cost to the producers, with a view to offering consumers the maximum guarantees regarding the authenticity of the wine.
