IGT and DOC/DOCG wines

Toscana IGT Rosso wines are often considered less “important” than those with a DOC/DOCG label, but this is not always the case. In fact, many of the best examples of innovative and high-quality Tuscan wines fall into the IGT category. This is due in part to the freedom that the IGT classification gives winemakers in creating their wines, as they are not constrained by the regulations governing DOC/DOCG wine status.
