Italian wine label



Wine label

Labels contain a lot of information about wine. According to the national and regional regulations, some contents must be written, especially related to the classification of wine, such as table wine or wine recognized by AOC, origin, alcohol content, name and address of the manufacturer. The year of manufacture is not necessary, but high quality wines are always marked. The back label contains more information than the label, including accurate description of the wine and the region of the manufacturer. In some countries, some notes are necessary. For example, the content of alcohol must be printed on the back label. Importers and sellers should translate these notes into local languages to meet the needs of different markets. Wine label is equivalent to the ID card of wine, including the name of the winery, the name of the wine (or not needed), the variety of wine, the capacity of the wine, the degree of alcohol, the production of which country, the year of growth, where to package into the bottle, etc., as well as patterns. In the past, these are mostly the symbols of winery, especially the aristocratic symbols handed down from feudal society The royal symbol, or the scenery and buildings of the winery. Classico: the wine produced in the core producing area of DOC is usually the highest quality wine from the best producing area. It is usually used after a place name, such as Barolo Classico docg. Riserva: a wine label term that can only be used for wine that meets the local law. It means that the wine has been aged for a certain period in the winery (including oak barrel aging and bottle storage aging). This is very interesting. If the Italian wine is produced by Riserva, it means it is mature and does not need to wait. Unlike French wine, although it has been aged by oak, most of the wineries' wine will go to the market as soon as it is bottled. Many famous wineries have not reached the best drinking deadline and the wine has been drunk prematurely. Italian is different, different grades of wine after different time of aging, has been put into the market is the best application period. Next time you meet a good Italian wine, don't be stingy. Enjoy it. Of course, very good Italy is worth collecting even after being stored in wineries. Of course, the price of such wine is certainly not much cheaper than that of famous French chateau.

Italian wine label

The Italian wine label provides a lot of information about the wine. The laws and regulations passed in 1967 provided for some wine instructions, which were modeled on the French practice, but did not make a detailed classification of wine. The Italian wine planning system denominazione Di origin contro llata (d.o.c.) is recognized by the government and follows the wine producing areas. For several wines, the wine planning system ensures a minimum standard of production. The name of high-quality wine, such as Barolo, or the name of grape variety used, such as Barbera, or its d.o.c., can reflect its origin. Not all wine producing areas are restricted by d.o.c., but most of the high-quality Italian wines in the U.S. market are produced by d.o.c. restricted wine producing areas. If a grape is not named after a region, the wine made from it is likely to be less distinctive. Denominazione Di origin contro llata (d.o.c.) is the highest grade of Italian wine, which can only be granted to the regions producing the highest quality wine.
