DENOMINATION

Historical stages that led to the current denomination (Source: FederDoc)
DOCG – DOC – IGT – Table Wines (Source FederDoc)

In general, it is not certain that a D.O.C.G. wine is better than a D.O.C. or an I.G.T. PDO wines must comply with a specific specification, which certifies the standards of that specific bottle, but nothing prevents an IGT wine from being better than a DOCG, also because personal taste has a great influence. A D.O.C.G. or D.O.C. wine, however, is also synonymous with quality, as well as strict controls that are carried out before being put on the market, which guarantee very high levels of production. D.O.C.G. wines have high intrinsic qualities and in order to obtain this Denomination they must have been D.O.C. for at least 5 years.

The PDO label (DOC, DOCG)

The label of PDO wines, being the “identity card” of the wine, must contain specific information

(Fonte FederDoc)
  1. Determined region from which the product comes
    It indicates the geographical area from which the product comes (e.g. Colline Lucchesi) which can be accompanied by the reference of the grape variety
  2. Traditional D.O.C. or D.O.C.G. (D.O.P.) specific terms
    The expressions Controlled Designation of Origin (D.O.C.) or Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (D.O.C.G.). These indications can be accompanied or replaced by the acronym D.O.P. which defines, at European level, the Wines with Designation of Origin.
  3. Vintage
    Starting from the 2010 harvest, the indication of the vintage is mandatory for all D.O.C.G. and D.O.C. wines, with the exception of the sparkling, semi-sparkling and fortified types.
  4. Indication of the producer or bottler
    Any reference relating to the producer and/or bottler (for imported wines, the importer or seller) must always be indicated, with its company name and place of establishment. In addition, it is possible to use a code (if provided for in the Member State) that further identifies one of these subjects.
  5. Contains sulfites
    Indicates that the product has been treated with allergens such as sulfur dioxide.
  6. Batch indication
    Numbering that indicates a set of bottles belonging to the same batch, produced in practically identical circumstances. It is normally preceded by the letter “L”.
  7. Nominal volume of wine
    The nominal volume of the wine should be indicated in liters, centiliters or milliliters.
  8. Actual alcoholic strength
    The alcohol content must be expressed as units or half units of percentage by volume (e.g. 10% vol, 10.5% vol) and may be preceded by the expression “actual alcoholic strength” or “actual alcohol” or by the abbreviation “alc”.
  9. Indication of origin
    The term “produced in” followed by the name of the Member State, indicates the territory in which the grapes were harvested and vinified.
  10. Ecological claims
    Containers or labels of products placed on the market may also include a warning not to dispose of containers in the environment after use.
