Indicazione Geografica Tipica
''Indicazione geografica tipica'' () is the third of four classification of wine, classifications of wine recognized by the government of Italy. Created to recognize the unusually high quality of the class of wines known as Italian wine#Super Tuscans, Super Tuscans, IGT wines are labeled with the locality of their creation. However, they do not meet the requirements of the stricter Denominazione di origine controllata, DOC or Denominazione di origine controllata#Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita (DOCG), DOCG designations, which are generally intended to protect traditional wine formulations such as Chianti or Barolo. It is considered broadly equivalent to the former French ''vin de pays'' classification (which is now generally protected as Geographical indications and traditional specialities in the European Union#Protected geographical indication (PGI), protected geographical indication; French language, French: ''indication géographique protégée'') under EU law. ...

Classification Of Wine
The classification of wine is based on various criteria including Protected designation of origin, place of origin or appellation, vinification method and style, Sweetness of wine, sweetness and vintage,J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 752 & 753 Oxford University Press 2006 . and the grape variety or varieties used. Practices vary in different countries and regions of origin, and many practices have varied over time. Some classifications enjoy official protection by being part of the wine law in their country of origin, while others have been created by, for example, growers' organizations without such protection. The term "wine" Within the European Union, the term "wine" and its equivalents in other languages is reserved exclusively for the fermentation (wine), fermented grape juice, juice of grapes.Harding, G. ''A Wine Miscellany'', pp. 5-9. Clarkson Potter Publishing (New York), 2005. . In the United States, the term is also used for the ferme ...

Denominazione Di Origine Controllata
The following four classification of wine, classifications of wine constitute the Italy, Italian system of labelling and legally protecting Italian wine: * ''Denominazione di origine'' (DO, rarely used; ; 'designation of origin'); * ''Indicazione geografica tipica'' (IGT; ; 'indication of geographical typicality'); * ''Denominazione di origine controllata'' (DOC; ; 'controlled designation of origin'); and * ''Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita'' (DOCG; ; 'controlled and guaranteed designation of origin'). The system was introduced in 1963 shortly after the Treaty of Rome established Italy as a founding member of the European Economic Community, and was modelled on the extant French ''appellation d'origine contrôlée'' (AOC) laws. It was overhauled in 1992 to match new European Union law on protected designation of origin, introducing the more general ''denominazione di origine protetta'' (DOP) designation for foods and agricultural products, including wines.

Chianti
Chianti is an Italian red wine produced in the Chianti (region), Chianti region of central Tuscan wine, Tuscany, principally from the Sangiovese grape. It was historically associated with a squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket, called a ''fiasco (bottle), fiasco'' ("flask"; : ''fiaschi''). However, the ''fiasco'' is now only used by a few makers of the wine; most Chianti is bottled in more standard-shaped wine bottles. In the late 19th century, Baron Bettino Ricasoli (later Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy) helped establish Sangiovese as the blend's dominant grape variety, creating the blueprint for today's Chianti wines. The first definition of a wine area called ''Chianti'' was made in 1716. It described the area near the villages of Gaiole (Chianti), Gaiole, Castellina (Chianti), Castellina and Radda (Chianti), Radda; the so-called ''Lega del Chianti'' and later ''Provincia del Chianti'' (Chianti province).

Barolo
Barolo ( , , ; ) is a red (DOCG) wine produced in the northern Italian region of Piedmont. It is made from the nebbiolo grape and is often described as one of Italy's greatest wines.

Vin De Pays
''Vin de pays'' (; 'country wine') was a French wine classification that was above the '' vin de table'' classification, but below the ''appellation d'origine contrôlée'' (AOC) classification and below the former '' vin délimité de qualité supérieure'' classification. The ''vin de pays'' classification was replaced by the EU indication '' Indication Géographique Protégée'' in 2009. Legislation on the ''Vin de pays'' terminology was created in 1973 and passed in 1979,winepros.com.au. allowing producers to distinguish wines that were made using grape varieties or procedures other than those required by the AOC rules, without having to use the simple and commercially non-viable table wine classification. Unlike table wines, which are only indicated as being from France, ''Vin de pays'' carries a geographic designation of origin, the producers have to submit the wine for analysis and tasting, and the wines have to be made from certain varieties or blends.

Geographical Indications And Traditional Specialities In The European Union
Three European Union schemes of geographical indications and Traditional food, traditional specialties, known as protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), and traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG), promote and protect names of agricultural products and foodstuffs, wines and spirits. Products registered under one of the three schemes may be marked with the logo for that scheme to help identify those products. The schemes are based on the legal framework provided by the EU Regulation No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs. This regulation applies within the EU as well as in Northern Ireland. Protection of the registered products is gradually expanded internationally via bilateral agreements between the EU and non-EU countries. It ensures that only products genuinely originating in that region are allowed to be identified as such in commerce. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
French Language
French ( or ) is a Romance languages, Romance language of the Indo-European languages, Indo-European family. Like all other Romance languages, it descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire. French evolved from Northern Old Gallo-Romance, a descendant of the Latin spoken in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other langues d'oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French (Francien language, Francien) largely supplanted. It was also substratum (linguistics), influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul and by the Germanic languages, Germanic Frankish language of the post-Roman Franks, Frankish invaders. As a result of French and Belgian colonialism from the 16th century onward, it was introduced to new territories in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, and numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole, were established.

Table Wine
Table wine (rarely abbreviated TW) is a wine term with two different meanings: a style of wine and a quality level within wine classification. In the United States, the term primarily designates a wine style: an ordinary wine which is not fortified or expensive and is not usually sparkling. In the European Union wine regulations, the term is the lower of two overall quality categories, the higher of which is '' quality wines produced in specified regions'' (QWPSR). All levels of national wine classification systems within the EU correspond to either TW or QWPSR, although the terms that actually appear on wine labels are defined by national wine laws with the EU regulations as a framework. Most EU countries have a national classification called ''table wine'' in the country's official language. Examples include ''vin de table'' in France, ''vino da tavola'' or sometimes ''vino da pasto'' (''pasto'' meaning ''meal'') in Italy, ''vino de mesa'' in Spain, ''vinho de mesa'' in Po ...
