If there is one food item that I have found plenty in Italy, it is wine! Italy is one of the top producers for wine and certainly consumes the most of it. The ideal climate, rich soil, and plentiful hillsides are perfect for growing grapes. There is a large variety of grapes and Italians have found how to make a plethora of wine varieties. Although with so many different types of wines how does one choose the best one? Well thankfully, the Italian government divides the wines into four different labels to help distinguish the different types- DOC, DOCG, and IGT. DOC is the cheapest wine but can be surprisingly delicious. There are many different kinds around Italy and Tuscany provides some of the best from the Chianti region. DOCG is the highest grade of wine. They are the best quality but it is sometimes hard to determine certain aspects about the winemaker. IGT is a pretty broad range of wines that range from poor quality to very good quality. Over all, these labels provide a great range of wine that are sure to please even the pickiest wine critic.
