This wine has a protected geographic designation label of DOCG, short for Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita, or “Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin.” Under Italian wine law DOCG is the highest designation of quality among Italian wines. The DOCG designation was created in 1980 in response to criticisms that there were too many DOCs and their quality was variable. DOCG wines, in contrast, were to be truly the best of what Italian wines could offer.
