Listen "Uncorking Italian Wine Classifications"
Episode Synopsis
We delved into the classifications of Italian wines: Vino da Tavola (table wine) is the least regulated and often more affordable, while IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) indicates a wine’s region but with fewer restrictions. DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) ensures adherence to specific production standards, and DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) represents the highest quality with rigorous controls and testing. Italy’s diverse wine regions, from Piemonte and Veneto in the north to Tuscany, Campania, Puglia, and Sicily in the south, offer a rich variety of wines reflecting the country’s extensive winemaking heritage.
