Overview

Vino de la Tierra is a quality of Spanish wine that designates the rung below the mainstream quality wine indication of Denominaci n de Origen (DO). It is the equivalent of the French vin de pays. It covers not only still wine but also sparkling wine and fortified wine. It represents a higher quality than table wine. The labels of Vino de la Tierra wines are allowed to state the year of vintage and the grape varieties used in its production. In 2008 there were 43 registered Vino de la Tierra wines in Spain. Denominaci n de Origen (Designation of Origin - DO) is part of a regulatory classification system primarily for Spanish wines (similar to the French appellations) but also for other foodstuffs like honey, meats and condiments. In wines it parallels the hierarchical system of France (1935) and Italy (1963) although Rioja (1925) and Sherry (1933) preceded the full system.
