Wine Law

THE LABELLING AND PACKAGING OF WINE 207 example, pursuant to article 1 of the “Chianti” product specification 62 the DOCG Chianti is reserved for Chianti wines, which were already recognised as a DOC wine by Presidential Decree of 9 August 1967, meeting the conditions and requirements established by the product specification for the following types: Chianti and Chianti Superiore, as well as the following subzones: Chianti Colli Aretini, Chianti Colli Fiorentini, Chianti Colli Senesi, Chianti Colline Pisane, Chianti Montalbano, Chianti Montespertoli and Chianti Rufina. A PDO wine may as well refer to additional geographical units (in Italian, “ unità geografiche ” or, in the past “ menzioni aggiuntive ”), smaller than the production area of the DO, located within the same production area and individually listed, provided that the product is vinified separately and specifically claimed in the annual report of grape production. These geographical units shall be expressly delimited and can correspond to municipalities, hamlets or administrative areas or to defined local geographical areas. The list of additional geographical units and the related delimitation must be indicated in the annex to the product specifications in a special list. “ Cannubi San Lorenzo ” and “ Ravera ” are both additional geographical units, smaller than the production area of the DOCG Barolo, located within the same production area and listed in a list indicated in the annex to the product specification for the Barolo PDO. In this case, the wine comes from both geographical units. 62 Lastly modified by the Decree of the Ministry of Agriculture of 30 November 2011.
