The Regulatory Council manages the \u201cTerra Alta\u201d designation of origin. It was set up as a decentralised Catalan Government agency following the official recognition of the \u201cTerra Alta\u201d DO in 1982. Then under the Wine Regulation Act 15\/2002 of 27 June, in 2005 the Regulatory Council was given full legal capacity to carry out its duties and was re-established as a public-law corporation.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The Regulatory Council always emphasises the values of the terroir, the vineyards and the culture that define a designation of origin. It combines private and public management to represent, uphold, protect and promote the \u201cTerra Alta\u201d DO to drive the wine industry\u2019s growth in the production area and make sure \u201cTerra Alta\u201d wines are appreciated by consumers of fine wines.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”2em”][vc_separator color=”#c0c6b4″ css_animation=”fadeIn” type=”small” position=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”3em”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”2em”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
