IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica)

IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is a certification used in Italy to identify traditional local food and beverage products. It recognizes items that have a specific quality, reputation, or characteristic linked to their geographic origin, but without the strict production rules of other certifications like DOC or DOCG. IGT helps consumers identify authentic regional products and supports local producers by highlighting their unique cultural heritage. It allows for some flexibility in production methods while maintaining a connection to the product's traditional roots, ensuring quality and regional identity are preserved.
