Italian Wine

Denominations

523 protected designations across 20 regions.

Italy's wine origin system has three protected tiers: DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) is the highest, with the strictest production rules and government-tested quality. DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) covers wines tied to specific regions and grape varieties. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is a broader regional category. Together they form the official register maintained by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture (MASAF).
