The Italians created their classification hierarchy, the Denominazione di Origine (DOC), 50 years ago to highlight their best wines. So what was Italy's first DOC, the one the Italians most wanted to trumpet?
Brunello di Montalcino or Barolo would be reasonable guesses. But no
, it was Vernaccia di san Gimignano. Brunello di Montalcino became Italy's first DOCG (Denominazione di Origine e Garantita) in 1980 – Vernaccia di San Gimignano followed later, in 1993.
