Facultative information, excluding trademarks and company names, may be placed on labels only in typographical letters not larger or more evidenced than those used for wines from the controlled place of origin, with the exception of more restrictive general regulations.
7.5 - Year
It is obligatory to place the year of production of the grapes on labels of Cortona wines.
