DOCG stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita. This is the highest recognition that can be awarded to a wine. In order to qualify for this certification, wine producers must be strictly in line with rules governing every aspect of the wine making process. The DOCG recognition is only given to the very best wines in the country. To qualify, a wine must already have held the DOC certification for at least 5 years. There is a strict set of rules for the DOC recognition to be applied, checked and analyzed by a disciplinary board which cover every aspect of the wine making process. DOCG wines also have to undergo a chemical analysis during the production stage.

MAREMMA WINE SHIRE
The Chamber of Commerce of Grosseto is working hard on marketing the area “Maremma” in Tuscany. The target is important: to obtain the Controlled Origin Denomination (D.O.C.) seal for the entire area.
The spotlight is already on and focused on the territorial excellence of that part of the Tuscan Region that has its capital at Grosseto.
In 2010 the promotion started with the Maremma Wine Shire, trade fair of wines from the Tuscan Maremma, at the Grosseto Fair in Braccagni, featuring over 150 companies based in the territory, offering over a thousand wines.
In October 2010 the wines were presented at Maremma Wine Shire in Milan.
