DOP, acronym for Protected Designation of Origin, is a European legal protected brand and can fit with the name of a region, a place or a country. As previously stated, this ensures that the characteristics of the bulk wine are ascribable to a particolar geographical environment.

Italian DOP products are required to comply with two essential conditions. First of all the production of raw materials and their transformation must take place within the region whose name the product bears. Furthermore, the quality or the characteristics of the product must be traceable to the place of origin.

Respectively “Classification of controlled origin” and “Classification of controlled and guatanteed origin”, are used in Italy for wine products with the DOP brand. In particolar, the DOCG acronym is riserve for wines that have already been recognized as DOC for at least 10 years, which are considered of particular value due to their intrinsic qualitative characteristics and commercial reputation.

What are the main differences between DOP and DOC brands? First of all their origin. The DOC certification is typical of the Italian territory, while the DOP is linked to a European regulation. The second difference is related to the products that certify that the DOC is used exclusively in the wine sector, the DOP, instead, is attributed to all food products.

 

Our DOCG branded bulk wine

The DOCG denomination is reserved to the types of wines which have kept the DOP brand for at least 10 years and which are recognized as valuable in terms of sensory evaluation and organoleptic components.

The procedural guidelines to be observed to obtain the DOCG classification are more rigid and precisely establish the procedures and necessary controls throughout the bulk wine refinement cycle.

DOC and DOCG wines require a further specification.

Classic wine indicates that the wine was produced in a sub-area of a dop or doc. The term “Stock” is atributed to PDO or DOCG products that have undergone a longer aging than required by the reference specification. Finally, the Superiore wine identifies dop or docg wines for which a yield per hectare is established of at least 10% lower than the provisions of procedural guidelines.
