Notes:
- The adhesive band on the top of DOC and DOCG wine bottles is called a “fascetta”.
- “Fascetta” translates to “Band” or “Wrapper” in Italian.
- The bands are printed by the state typographic institute.
- The color of the bands may vary, depending on the DOCG.
- Around 3-4 years ago (2012/2013) the graphics and colors of the bands changed.
- Previously, Soave Superiore DOCG were yellow bands, now they are Blue/White.
- The term “Fascette” is also used, likely a plural version.
- The DOCG label for Gavi was always green. The pink label is introduced for Barolo and Barbaresco.
