Born in Valenza Pò (Alessandria) in 1946, the company later moved to Borgoricco, a town 15 km from Padua and 25 km from Venice in northeastern Italy.

I.C.V. established itself as a market leader since its founding. In 1984, it became part of the Bertolino Group, a family-run group, a leading producer of ethanol and other wine-related products, combining its diverse experience in the sector with sophisticated production facilities and advanced technologies.

Thanks to the vision and tenacity of Antonina Bertolino, president of the I.C.V. board of directors, the company underwent a complete restructuring and successfully increased production capacity and improved process efficiency, while fully respecting the environment.
