A dApp developed by Vechain (VET) and DNV GL to quench the yen of consumers requesting for not just verified and ethical brands but also products, ‘My Story’, has been officially adopted by three leading wine producing companies in Rome, Italy, after a previous announcement in March.
According to an official announcement issue by DNV GL, the three Italian company, Ricci Curbastro, Ruffino Wines, and West Wind Wines, were the first to adopt the blockchain-powered solution, My Story.
DNV GL further noted that My Story will grant consumers the ability to access the true story of a wine from grapes to bottle by scanning the QR codes on the bottles.

The Digital Transformation Director of DNV GL, Renato Grottola, said the choice of wine company was basically because Italian wines tell story.
Renato Grottola: "Why wine? We could have started from industrial products, but we felt like wine, especially the italian wine, always tells a story. It seemed like a perfect fit, given the goals we intend to achieve with our technology".#DNVGL #MyStory @rgrottola @DNVGLBA_IT

At the unveiling ceremony, the CEO of DNV GL – Business Assurance, Luca Crisciotti said:
“My Story illuminates products and their supply chain for the benefit of consumers, who will have instant and in-depth access to key products characteristics such as quality, authenticity, origin, ingredients, water and energy consumption and more, all verified by DNV GL along the entire transformation process.”
