The pink label on Italian wines, including Chianti, is a government seal indicating that the wine meets the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) quality standards. Each seal has three letters followed by eight numbers that constitute the license number for that wine. The letters are not an indication of quality, as is popularly believed.
