On the label
What the label should show
- The name Lechkhumi as a protected designation of origin (PDO).
These are requirements of the specification. A label that meets them complies with the specification; it does not prove that the bottle is genuine.
The zone
Lechkhumi: the winegrowing parts of the Rioni, Lajanuri and Tskhenistskali valleys within the Tsageri municipality. The wine is dry, white or amber, from Tsolikouri only — no other variety is allowed. The same grape gives the naturally semi-sweet Tvishi in the same district.
