Abstract
Sustainability is a concept that affects many sectors due to increased stakeholder pressure for both economic and political reasons. In 2010 “SOSTAIN” was born, the first sustainability protocol in this sector that allows you to know exactly the type of impact that the company has on the surrounding area and how to limit it based on the principle of Life Cycle Assessment. It is a protocol ready to open up too many local companies, whether they are producers of organic, biodynamic, natural, conventional wine and more; because what unites the actors of SOSTAIN is the desire to share agricultural best practices aimed at respecting the ecosystem and absolute transparency towards the consumer. The study that will be carried out will be to carry out a detailed analysis of costs and benefits to implement this protocol in Sicilian wineries, in particular “Principi di Butera” cellars are based in Butera (CL). The objective of the study is to support wineries towards a proactive perspective with an eye to a “greener” future, making sure that it undertakes to behave ethically and contribute to economic development, improving the quality of the wine at the same time.
