  • What is a DOC label on a Italian wine bottle?
  • The DOC label on an Italian wine bottle is a promise of a quality wine that reflects the character of its region, making it a favoured choice among UK wine lovers who appreciate the depth and diversity of Italian winemaking. Introduced in the 1980s, DOCG is a certification that represents the highest echelon in Italian wine classifications.
  • Is a DOCG labelled DOP?
  • DOCG is now included under the new European wide category DOP, but, because DOCG status is so prestigious, it is unlikely that you will find a DOCG labelled as DOP. It is important to remember that, whilst a wine labelled as DOCG will, more often than not, be top quality, the “Garantita” doesn’t guarantee that the wine will be excellent.
