The <\/span>classification<\/span> of <\/span>wines<\/span> is<\/span> a <\/span>fascinating<\/span> and <\/span>complex<\/span> topic<\/span>,<\/span> which<\/span> interests<\/span> both<\/span> wine<\/span> enthusiasts<\/span> and <\/span>industry<\/span> professionals<\/span> alike<\/span>.

<\/span>But what exactly does it mean? And what are the different classifications of Italian wines? <\/span>Let\u2019s<\/span> find out together<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are wine Protected Designations of origin (PDO)?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Protected Designation of Origin is a classification <\/span>system that certifies the geographic origin and quality of wines<\/span><\/b>. In Italy, there are various types of designations that guarantee the <\/span>origin and production method of wine<\/span><\/b>, including <\/span>PGI<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>DOC<\/span><\/b>, and <\/span>DOCG<\/span><\/b>. These labels not only protect winemaking traditions but also offer consumers assurance of the product\u2019s quality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this, the territory where the grapes destined to become fine wines are grown plays a crucial role in our cellars. The technical term used to describe the connection between soil, place of origin, and the wine\u2019s organoleptic properties is <\/span>terroir<\/span><\/i><\/b>, which also encompasses the <\/span>climatic conditions, cultivation methods, and production<\/span><\/b> techniques that contribute to making a product unique.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Short history of the Designation of Origin<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even though the ancient Romans already recognized the importance of identifying and categorizing wines, the first regulations aimed at standardizing the origin of wines date back to the early 1900s.<\/span>
\nIn fact, the history of Designations of Origin in Italy officially began in 1963, with the introduction of the D.P.R. 930 of July 12th on the designation of origin for wines. <\/span>The first Italian wine to be recognized as DOC<\/span><\/b> (Controlled Designation of Origin)<\/span> was the Vernaccia of San Gimignano<\/span><\/b>. Since then, the system has evolved to include further classifications like DOCG (Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication), each with specific production and control requirements.<\/span>
\nToday, the wine denomination is regulated by <\/span>EU regulation no. 1151\/2012<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
