DOC is the historical acronym established in the sixties and known throughout Italy to identify quality wines produced in small or medium-sized geographical areas with characteristics attributable to the vine, the environment and production methods. today it is an acronym no longer recognized: a European resolution has included these products in the most modern PDO mark, but the use is still allowed as a traditional specific mention.
