Italian wine labeling: Classico and Superiore
The big thing to remember here is the following:
CLASSICO refers to a place. It’s a geographical designation, indicating the old original spot in that region where grapes were planted. In general it has a higher potential for quality compared to the surrounding ‘normal’ zone.
SUPERIORE is a selection in the winery, and carries more ripeness, alcohol, and age.
