Italian wine law

Italian wine law regulates wine production through classifications that guarantee quality and origin. These include DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), which sets strict standards for grape varieties, regions, and winemaking methods, and DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), a higher tier with even stricter rules and government tasting approval. There's also IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) for regional wines with more flexibility. These laws ensure authenticity, quality, and respect for local traditions, helping consumers identify genuine, high-quality Italian wines while preserving regional diversity.
