While it may take years to feel as though you <em>truly<\/em> <em>know <\/em>Italian wines back and front, you can begin to decipher them now by understanding the label. And like Italy itself, once you wade through the rules, exceptions, pretty words, and roundabouts, you\u2019ll find the trouble is always worth it.<\/p>\n<h2>On Every Italian Wine Label:<br \/>\nClassification, Name of Wine, Producer<\/h2>\n<h3>Classification<\/h3>\n<p>Nearly every bottle of Italian wine that you find in the store will be classified under one of four categories, called appellations or denominations. These are unique to Italy. Other countries do have similar equivalents, but only Italy has these specific denominations, listed below.<\/p>\n<p>The denominations denote more or less strict production and origin controls. This includes yield, where the wines are made, and where the grapes are grown\u2014<strong>but<\/strong> <strong>they do not definitely indicate the quality, so do not judge by denomination alone.<\/strong> After all, Super Tuscans were once classified on the low end of the totem pole\u2014Vino da tavola\u2014because producers used non-native grape varieties, thereby knocking them out of other tiers. Today, Super Tuscans fall under denominations of Bolgheri DOC, Toscana IGT, and Maremma Toscana IGT and are some of Italy\u2019s most sought-after wines, fetching prices from $50 to $250 a bottle and beyond.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Vino da tavola <\/u>(also VdT, but you will more often see the name spelled out) \u2013 Table Wine. Grapes can be grown from anywhere in Italy, not necessarily be native Italian varieties, and be produced in any Italian winery. Everyday drinking wine, or a wine that \u201cbreaks the rules\u201d (like afore-mentioned Super Tuscans, or a dry Moscato)<\/li>\n<li><u>IGT<\/u> \u2013 Indicazione Geografica Tipica; Typical Geographical Indication. The wine is produced in a specific location.<\/li>\n<li><u>DOC<\/u> \u2013 Denominazione di Origine Controllata; Denomination of Controlled Origin. Produced in more defined regions and winemakers follow rules designed to preserve the traditional winemaking practices of that region.<\/li>\n<li><u>DOCG<\/u> \u2013 Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita; Denomination of Controlled Origin and Guaranteed (quality). Regional delineations are stricter, as are other winemaking rules, such as yields and where the wine is made and bottled. DOCG wines must pass a quality evaluation by a government-certified board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1736\" src=\"http:\/\/wineandgrapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Wine-Labels-DOC-DOCG-IGT-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Italian Wine Labels\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Wine-Labels-DOC-DOCG-IGT-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Wine-Labels-DOC-DOCG-IGT-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Wine-Labels-DOC-DOCG-IGT-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Wine-Labels-DOC-DOCG-IGT.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Name of Wine<\/h3>\n<p>The official, typological name of the wine comes before the denomination. A wine is never just called DOC, after all\u2014it is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kobrandwineandspirits.com\/portfolio\/product\/bollini_pinot_grigio_rosato_igt\">Pinot Grigio Rosato IGT<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kobrandwineandspirits.com\/portfolio\/product\/campo_al_mare_bolgheri_doc\">Bolgheri DOC<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kobrandwineandspirits.com\/portfolio\/product\/michele_chiarlo_faset_barbaresco_docg\">Barbaresco DOCG<\/a>, etc. It might take years before you recognize all the different Italian wines made (to be specific, as of this writing 330 DOC, 77 DOCG, and 118 IGT wines, numbers that increase every year), but knowing that the denomination comes immediately after or underneath helps you see the type.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, many producers name their wines separately, from imagination\u2014<em>di fantasia. <\/em>After all, if you had just cared for your vines all year rain-or-shine, hail-or-drought, gone through harvest, vinified and aged and bottled and put your babies on the market, you\u2019d want to name it too, wouldn\u2019t you? It\u2019s like titling a book, designating your work of art, or naming your child; actually, many Italians do name their wines after their children or loved ones!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1740 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/wineandgrapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Daphne.jpg\" alt=\"Daphne Wine Label\" width=\"950\" height=\"510\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Daphne.jpg 950w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Daphne-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wine365.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Daphne-768x412.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 950px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 950\/510;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Winery or Producer<\/h3>\n<p>The winery or producer name may be at the top, or the bottom, of the label. There will likely be a logo next to the name and perhaps one of the following words that denote winery:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tenuta<\/li>\n<li>Cascina<\/li>\n<li>Azienda \/ Azienda Agricola \/ Azienda Vitivinicola<\/li>\n<li>Castello<\/li>\n<li>Cantina<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Other Common Words and Descriptions on an Italian Wine Label<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the denomination, other words may be added to the label that further categorize the wine\u2019s style and quality. The most common you\u2019ll see are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Classico<\/span>: This is the historic center of a wine region, like Chianti Classico. These are usually the best sites and produce top-quality wine.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Riserva<\/span>: This means that a DOC or DOCG wine has a higher level of alcohol and has been aged longer than the classic denomination stipulates.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Superiore<\/span>: This also indicates a higher level of alcohol, lower grape yield (thus higher quality and concentration of color, flavor, and sugars in the grapes), and longer aging time.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Gran Selezione<\/span>: Only for Chianti. The main differentiator is that 100% of the grapes must be grown on the property of the producer whose name appears on the label, and longer aging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And finally, the vineyard name, hill, wine region, or sub-region might make an appearance on the label. The best way to understand if a random word on the label is one of these is by process of elimination\u2014is it the wine type, winery name, or any of the above words?\u2014and by understanding Italian wines.<\/p>\n<p>And the best way to do <em>that, <\/em>of course, is by drinking more Italian wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With possibly thousands of native grape varieties, winemaking traditions proudly and passionately followed for centuries, and a long history as a fragmented country with cities, towns, and borghi (villages) adhering to their own customs and laws, of course Italian wines and wine labels are complex \u2013 much like the Italians and their beautiful country themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[34,29,30],"class_list":{"0":"post-2099","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wine-basics","8":"tag-italian-wine","9":"tag-italy","10":"tag-wine-regulations"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
