The DOC wines are distinguished by a very specific area of origin and are regulated by a production regulation, which establishes:

• the denomination of origin (the name of the DOC)
• the production area of the grapes
• the maximum yield of grapes and wine per hectare
• the minimum alcoholic strength of the grapes
• physical-chemical and organoleptic characteristics of the wine, the minimum alcoholic strength of the wine
• production conditions (climate, terrain, altitude, exposure, etc.)
• vineyard composition, plant density, farming methods, pruning systems
• methods of organoleptic examinations
• minimum period of aging in wood and / or aging in bottle
• possible bottling in delimited areas.

The DOC wines are also subject to chemical-physical and organoleptic tests, performed by ad hoc commissions, during the production phase.
