Company email (January 2016):
"Ho il piacere di confermarle che nei nostri prodotti a marchio Mario Giacondi non viene utilizzato alcun tipo di ingrediente di derivazione animale. Sono quindi prodotti adatti al consumo vegano/vegetariano."

"We received your e-mail about info on Nero d’Avola Giacondi. I can say that we use egg albumin and anything else referred to animals ingredients.

Our product is fully manufactured in Italy: the wine comes from Sicily and it is bottles in Piedmont where we have our main cellar.
Also, all the raw materials (labels/closure/carton……) are from Italy."

"We use only EGG ALBUMIN."
