DOC

Italian · denominazione di origine controllata, controlled designation of origin

DOC (denominazione di origine controllata) is the Italian traditional term for PDO wines, for example Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC.1

Above DOC stands DOCG; several sparkling wines moved up over time. Franciacorta, for example, was approved as a DOC in 1967 and as a DOCG in 1995, and Conegliano Valdobbiadene became DOC in 1969 and DOCG in 2009.2,3 Each DOC has a disciplinare and often a consorzio di tutela. Sparkling DOCs include Lambrusco di Sorbara, Prosecco DOC and Trento DOC. The EU equivalent is PDO. See Italy.
