It\u2019s your key to understanding some of the basic aspects of the wine so you know exactly what you\u2019re getting when you spend your hard-earned money on the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wine label reveals plenty of information at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are also often small aspects of the label that will tell you little titbits about the wine that may help you make a better decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will help you read Italian wine labels properly so you always know what you\u2019re getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #1 \u2013 Country and Region<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing where a wine originates is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happily, most wine labels showcase this information prominently either on the top of the label or its bottom. Many wines will tell you their country of origin. However, some producers prefer to focus on their region of origin, rather than the country. This is often the case with Italian wines, where regional variances play such a huge role in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good rule of thumb here is that more detail about the region tends to mean a more expensive product. Producers that showcase a lot of pride in their region tend to make more prestigious wines because they understand the role their land plays in the process. This isn\u2019t to say that a bottle that gives you the bare basic information can\u2019t be good. It just means that the winemaker believes the region of origin isn\u2019t important for selling the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #2 \u2013 Look for the Grape Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a tricky wine because not all wines will tell you the grape variety used, unless the wine is made solely using that grape. For example, you don\u2019t need to be told that a Pinot Noir is made using (you guessed it) Pinot Noir. It\u2019s right there in the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, many wines from \u201cold world\u201d countries (such as Italy) don\u2019t include their grape variety. If they do, it\u2019s usually tucked away on the back of the label. The reason to look for this is that you may have tried a wine that you really liked in the past, meaning you\u2019re now looking for something similar. Knowing grape varieties helps you to find different Italian wines that have similar qualities to the wine you enjoyed so much. If the grape variety isn\u2019t on the label, it&#8217;s usually easy enough to jump online and quickly research the name of the wine to find out what goes into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #3 \u2013 Check The Vintage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see a year written on the Italian wine label, you\u2019ve just discovered the wine\u2019s vintage. This is the year that the grapes were harvested and the production process began for that bottle. Often, the vintage is several years behind the current year. For example, you may find a 2018 vintage in 2022, which indicates the wine was produced and then aged for a few years before being made available for retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vintage is important because it informs you of the potential quality of the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you have two bottles of the same Italian wine. However, one is a 2018 vintage and the other is a 2017. For the sake of argument, let\u2019s say that 2017 was a better year for producers than 2018. The climate was ideal, making growing conditions perfect. So, the grapes that went into the 2017 vintage were stronger than those in the 2018 one. Naturally, the 2017 vintage is the better choice in this scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After locating the vintage, do some quick research to determine if the producer experienced ideal growing conditions during that year. This will help you to find wines from a good year and avoid those from bad years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vintage also has another purpose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It tells you how much ageing the wine has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps you determine if the wine benefits from a couple more years in the bottle or if it&#8217;s ready to open now. Generally speaking, wines that don\u2019t have a vintage at all are usually best drunk young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #4 \u2013 Look at the Alcohol Volume<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alcohol volume is represented by a percentage, which is usually found at the front of the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a couple of things about this number that you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, some countries are laxer with their volume numbers than others. For example, the United States allows producers to state a volume within 0.5% of what it is. So, a wine that claims a 13.5% volume may actually be 13% or 14%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the volume clues you into whether an Italian wine has followed <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/en\/explaining-the-doc-and-docg\/\">DOC or DOCG rules<\/a>. If a wine has either of these acronyms on the label, this tells you the wine was produced under strict guidelines. Alcohol volume is part of those guidelines. After reading the volume number, head online to check it against the DOC or DOCG guidelines. If they match, this is an indicator that the wine is supposed to carry the label. This is a quick way to determine if an Italian wine is legitimate, though it is not perfect as clever forgers may select the correct volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #5 \u2013 Check the Producer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most producers proudly display their names on their labels. If you see an Italian wine label without a producer, that\u2019s a pretty good sign that the wine isn\u2019t really up to snuff. Good producers put their names to wine in the same way that artists sign their paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found the producer\u2019s name, jump online and research them. Check their website and see if you can find reviews for the wine you\u2019re looking at our the company\u2019s other wines. This will give you an indication of whether the producer is known for creating great wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Italian wine label tells you a lot about the bottle you\u2019re about to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the five tips in this article will help you to make some good decisions.
