Italian wine labels: What do IGT, DOC, and DOCG mean?

Everyone that has purchased a bottle of Italian wine has seen three or four little letters - IGT, DOC, and DOCG - that stand out on the label. These are part of the Italian wine classification system, a guarantee that you are purchasing a quality wine produced according to rigorous government standards. Law 164/92 which regulates the classification of wines can be graphically summarized in a pyramid, at the base of which are found table wines, IGT, DOC and DOCG.

There are four Italian wine classifications listed below but for relevancy and purpose we will focus on the first three.
Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG)
Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC)
Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT)
Vino da Tavola

it should be specified that this system does not identify the quality of wine, but only its territoriality and that a fine wine aspiring to get or keep a quality label, must precisely meet the requirements imposed by a proper set of norms, called disciplinary. The "higher" the appellation, the more complex, particular and restrictive the requirements to be met will be.
