Italian Wine Regions
Italy is broken into 20 regions with hundreds of DOCs or Denominazione di Origine Controllata or Original Location Certified. DOCs were introduced in 1963 to protect the naming of wines' original location. Italian wines are classified in three categories.
- Vini d Tavola or Table Wines are split into two sub-categories: Vino da tavola (VTD) or Table Wine and Vino da tavola con indicazione geografica tipica (IGT) or Table wine from typical geographic area.
- Vini di qualitá prodotti in regione determinata ( VQPRD ) or Quality wines produced in a defined region. They are divided into Vino a denominazione di orogine controllata ( DOC ) or Original location certified, and Vino a denominazione di orogine controllata e garantita ( DOCG ) or Original location certified and guaranteed.
- Vini speciali or Specialty wines, including aromatized and liquorous wines.
Excluding specialty wines, Italian wines are qualified in ascending value from VDT (table wines) to DOCG (original location certified and guaranteed wine).
