italian wine industry

[Jason]

You're opening a huge can of worms with the DOCGs. The Italian government can't even decide what the official list is.
There have been great changes to their industry, but most of it has been the govt. catching up with what the vintners were already doing.
Vino de Tavola is not always great stuff its just the place where the rebels had to run before the feds changed their rules.
You're into a very large subject here. Give us some specific questions and we'll do our best.
